Redirecting django manage.py output (in windows) to a text file


Certain types of console messages will bypass the output redirection (or whatever using ">" is called). I noticed that sys.stderr.write() for instance did this.

Adding a "2>&1" at the end helps with this:

python manage.py test purchaseplans > test_results.txt 2>&1
