Get previous console output as string in script

I have a script that returns an output in the console, eg (not the actual code just an example):

print("Hello World")

I want to be able to catch this output as a string and store it as a variable:

print("Hello World")

# function to catch previous line output and store it as a variable

I'm assuming by the wording in your question that you are running the first print command in a different script than the first one. In that case you can run it using the subprocess module and catch the output like this:

from subprocess import run

result = run(['script.py'], capture_output=True)
previous_output = result.stdout

You can just do that

a = "Hello World !"
print(a)

it's easier than trying to capture it after printing the actual string, but if you insist, @Blupper already answered your question.
