TASK DESCRIPTION
**OS:** Linux
When I redirect the output of the python command that runs the bot to a file or another
command, the output simply disappears. I wanted to generate a file based on the
listpages.py script, but apparently I'm unable to do so...
```
python pwb.py listpages.py -family:
-cat:'somecategory'
1 Page 1
2 Page 2
...
python pwb.py listpages.py -family:
-cat:'somecategory' > filelist.txt
ls -l filelist.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 jesus users 0 mar 21 16:55 filelist.txt
python pwb.py listpages.py -family:
-cat:'somecategory' | uniq
```
Using the pipe to pass the output to another command doesn't generate output. The
same when redirecting to a file.
Printing text from python directly works, though
```
python -c "print 'test'" | uniq
test
```
