WLST redirect command does not log print messages

Question

I am using redirect to log WLST messages in a logfile, while my WLST Jython script is running. However, I am using the print command to output various messages, but I am finding that these print messages are not in the logfile.
How do I get such messages in the "redirect logfile" ?

Hi, I have a similar situation.
I am exec the WLST code from within an application.
When using the WLST scripting, and trying to use the "print" statement for logging messages, we can see the message on the console, but the messages do not show up in our logfile (using java.util.logging.Logger).
For example, if my script has: print "test message"
This will apppear on the console output, but not in my logfile.
But other messages derived from the script are logged.
For example, if in the WLST script we call startEdit(), then the message "Starting an edit session..." will appear in both the console and logfile as expected.
Not sure why the print statement will not get directed to the logfile. Have tried both using statements in single quotes and double quotes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea how we can log from WLST to ensure our logs capture all messages?
I don't want to explicitly open the logfile as shown in your example, as its already open by the logger.
