How can save to file the on screen output of a Python IDE?

Question

I use Spyder as my Python IDE. In most of what I do I use the editor to write code and execute portions of the program one at a time. I typically go back and forth, change things, add pieces, execute portions... you get it. Is there a way to save to file what Spyder shows in the console portion of the IDE after each portion of code is executed?

Answer 1

(Spyder dev here) Well, there is a way to save the output shown in our consoles but not after each execution. You have to do it manually, like this:

1. For our Python consoles, you need to do a right mouse click over any console and select the option Save history log.

2. For our IPython consoles, you need to do a right mouse click over any console and select the option Save as HTML/XML
