Redirect stdout to logger in Python

Can I redirect all output from stdout to a logger I have set up with the standard logging module? (I have os.system calls whose output I'd also like to see or occational print statements)

You might be able to make use of the suggestion in this post, summarised below:

import logging

class LoggerWriter:
    def __init__(self, logger, level):
        self.logger = logger
        self.level = level

    def write(self, message):
        if message != '\n':
            self.logger.log(self.level, message)

def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
    logger = logging.getLogger("demo")
    info_fp = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.INFO)
    debug_fp = LoggerWriter(logger, logging.DEBUG)
    print >> info_fp, "An INFO message"
    print >> debug_fp, "A DEBUG message"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

When run, the script prints:

INFO:demo:An INFO message
DEBUG:demo:An DEBUG message
