I have the following code with a function to write into a log file, for some reason it doesn't work :-|
#!/usr/nin/env python
log_buffer = ""
def print_log(msg):
global log_buffer
log_buffer += msg + "\n"
return
with open("logging.log","at") as log:
log.write(msg+"\n")
print_log("Test")
Any idea what am I missing here?

your return statement makes the print_log() function leave before you ever write to the file
but instead of reinventing the wheel, you should instead use the logging module!
look at a tutorial and implement it, so that way you'll be compatible with libraries you may include in your project, or keep a standard way to use logs if your project is a library. And it provides ways to filter logs to different destinations and so many more powerful features!
