I've written a Python script using arcgisscripting to do various processing steps on some data. I'm planning to run it from a stand-alone command-line window (ie. not within ArcGIS at all) and, as such, have a number of print
commands in my code to show its status.
However, when I run it from the console I also get a number of other things printed to the console including warnings (such as a warning that my data has no projection) and the full output of the Nearest Neighbour calculation command. These aren't needed, and will clog up the output (I'll be running this as a batch job with the output piped to a file).
Is there any way to get rid of these? I was hoping for a gp.quiet = true command or a gp.silent = true, but can't seem to find any of those. Any ideas?

I don't think the geoprocessor object provides any clean way of separating out the response type, as most applications would with a log-level: if it does, there isn't anything apparent from the documentation.
I'd use the python
logging
module (documentation) to log the output you do care about, instead of usingprint
statements:Then use
tail -f example.log
or equivalent to watch the log.
