Have you ever tried using a windows console to output?:
Execute this once from the Rhino Python console:
import System
import System.IO as io
from System import Console
import Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles as sh
import ctypes as ct
stdOutputHandle = ct.c_int(-11)
ct.windll.kernel32.AllocConsole()
intPt = ct.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle(stdOutputHandle)
stdHandle = System.IntPtr(intPt)
safeFileHandle = sh.SafeFileHandle(stdHandle, True)
fileStream = io.FileStream(safeFileHandle, io.FileAccess.Write)
encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(437)
standardOutput = io.StreamWriter(fileStream, encoding)
standardOutput.AutoFlush = True
Console.SetOut(standardOutput)
Console.WriteLine(“This is a console window”)
and this from a GH Python or Rhino Python script:
from System import Console
Console.WriteLine(“Hi from Grasshopper”)
