Question
How to print a string or write something into a file from Python in Django app

I was trying to log some string to troubleshoot my app. The issue exist only in the server, not in local development server.
My app is running nginx and gunicorn, I have no clue how to use python print() function and where the output will be. Also I tried to write a file, but that also didn’t work. I don’t know why the file was not written in target directory.
I used this code to output a file:
file_object.write("ip: " + client_host)```
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,
You could use something like this:
from django.core.files import File
f = open('./debug.txt', 'w')
testfile = File(f)
testfile.write("ip: " + client_host)
testfile.close
f.close
You could then run the following command to find the file:
find -name debug.txt
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
