Introduction
------------


Sample script illustrates printing to the datamanager.

This script also shows how you can re-direct all the standard python
'print' statements to message window.

In python, when the interpreter reads a print statement it converts,

 ::

      print "Hello World!"

To the following,

 ::

      sys.stdout("Hello World!" + "\n")

If you wish to re-direct strings being sent to the sys.stdout to the
message window, then all you have to do is set sys.stdout equal to the
message window's stdout (standard out).

 ::

     sys.stdout = mssys.stdout

Then, if you want to reset it back again,

 ::

     sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
