How do I detect whether sys.stdout is attached to terminal or not? [duplicate]
This can be detected using isatty:
if sys.stdout.isatty(): # You're running in a real terminalelse: # You're being piped or redirectedTo demonstrate this in a shell:
python -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.isatty())"should write Truepython -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.isatty())" | catshould write False
