I have a custom Buffer class which is designed to capture written/printed statements to the device, to be able to transform the captured text to string or stream type. I have used this in ObjectScript to capture ObjectScript write statements and return a string. I would like to try to use this with a [ Language = python ] method as follows. This class will be called by a scheduled task.

/// ObjectScript code which initializes buffer to capture statements written in nested method call
ClassMethod CollectStringFromBuffer() 
{
    set buffer = ##class(CustomClass.Buffer).%New()
    do buffer.BeginCaptureOutput()
    do ..PythonMethodWithPrintStatments() // Capture all statements written by this call
    do buffer.EndCaptureOutput()
    do buffer.ReadToString(.errorOutput)
}

/// Python code which executes Python print and IRIS write statement
ClassMethod PythonMethodWithPrintStatments() [ Language = python, Private ]
{
    import iris 
    print("Python print this line to the buffer")
    iris.execute('write "IRIS write this line to the buffer"')
}

The Python method is not printing to the same device as the ObjectScript method is called from, so the buffer is not actually capturing these statements.

I am thinking through some alternative solutions, but I am curious first if anyone has advice on ways to redirect Python output that would be usable with the current solution? Thanks!
