Python version of freopen()

Question

Is there anything in python that can replicate the functionality of freopen() in C or C++? To be precise, I want to replicate the functionality of:

freopen("input.txt","r",stdin);

and

freopen("output.txt","w",stdout);

And then use the same (standard) functions for console I/O for file I/O. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try this:

import sys
sys.stdin = open('input.txt', 'r') 
sys.stdout = open('output.txt', 'w')

Text files are self explanatory. You can now run this code on Sublime Text or any other text editor.
