The formatting part of the print is just an expression with a string value, you can assign it to a variable and write it to your file. You might want to add a newline: timeMsg = "Time was %.4g seconds\n" % (timeEnd - timeStart) f.write(timeMsg) If you have a lot of output that you want to put to the console and to a log file you might like to look at the logging module. A single line of logging can be written to multiple places by the module.
