I want to export the messages that appear on the Console Python (for example this below) using a script:

enter image description here

But I can't find a way to store it in a txt file. Any suggestion?

This is a really horrible way of finding the right widget, I can almost guarantee there is a more elegant way (suggestions welcome), but nonetheless:

cons = iface.mainWindow().findChild(QDockWidget, 'PythonConsole')

children = cons.children()


pc = children[-1]               # console.console.PythonConsole


pcw = pc.children()[0]          # console.console.PythonConsoleWidget


shell = pcw.shellOutWidget


scin = shell.children()[1]      # console.console_output.ShellOutputScintilla


contents = scin.text()          # console text


write log to file


with open('console_log.txt', 'w+') as logfile:
    logfile.write(contents)

  • Nice code, however, I am getting the following error: "AttributeError: 'QSplitter' object has no attribute 'shellOutWidget'" – Taras Dec 09 '23 at 08:52
  • The weirdest child is this one console.console.PythonConsoleWidge ^_^ – Taras Dec 09 '23 at 09:09
  • In that case, it's probably better to find the child using if isinstance() rather than by indexing. I thought that might causes issues... – Matt Dec 09 '23 at 09:20
  • And indeed. It took quite some digging to find my way through the hierarchy :) – Matt Dec 09 '23 at 09:34
