[Django]-How to redirect "print" command output to a file without changing the python code?

I believe that > writes to the file test.log whatever gets logged to console from Django.
print('query_content:') is not getting logged, therefore is not part of Django output.

You need to create a logger for your application:

1. In settings.py add:

   LOGGING = {
       'version': 1,
       'disable_existing_loggers': True,
       'formatters': {
       'standard': {
           'format' : "[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(name)s:%(lineno)s] %(message)s",
           'datefmt' : "%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S"
       },
   },
   'handlers': {
       # This logs to the console
       'console':{
           'level':'INFO',
           'class':'logging.StreamHandler',
           'formatter': 'standard'
       },
   },
   'loggers': {
       'django': {
           'handlers':['console'],
           'propagate': True,
           'level':'INFO',
        },
   },
   

2. Add the following were you want to log something:

   import logging
   mylogger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
   
   
   ...
   logger.info('query content: {}'.format(your_query_content))
   ...
   

Although the above solves your immediate problem, you can take it a step further:

Add a file handler in your LOGGER configuration:

1. On handlers add:

   'file': {  
       'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
       'filename': 'a/file/location/logs.log',  
       'formatter': 'standard'
   },
   

2. On loggers.django update the handlers:

   'handlers':['console', 'file'], 
   

You can customize the above even further, but that is another subject:
