[twill] How to output text on the screen to a log file

[Do, Uy N]

I tested the redirect_error using twill-sh/ twill-sh - n command and
they all worked good. However, when I tried to use the redirect_error
command within python script syntax it didn't produce anything in the
log file.
Here is the script that I tried using python code:
-----------------
# this script works just fine
redirect_error 't3.err'
go http://url_throwing_errors
code 200
----------------
# Nothing was written to file  't3p.err'
#!c:\python python
from twill.commands import go, follow, showforms, fv, submit, find,
notfind, code, save_html, extend_with, config, redirect_output,
redirect_error, reset_error
import os, time, re

redirect_error ('t3p.err')
go ('http://url_throwing_errors')
code('200')
---------------

Do you see anything wrong with the script?

I just added the functions 'redirect_error' and 'reset_error'.

'twill-sh --never-fail' (or 'twill-sh -n') will now continue executing
past failures in scripts.  Errors etc. will be printed normally.

Please try them out and let me know it goes...
