[Twisted-Python] Logging to both console and file (using twisted logging API)?

[naman jain]

People,

Can anyone help me with this issue?

log.startLogging(open(logname,'w')
or
log.startLogging(open(logname,'w'), setStdout=True)

Both print the console output in the log. But nothing is displayed on
console! So I get a empty console
I would like to keep the console going also:

Precisely:
Console -> gets the print calls                             Not Happening
Log       -> gets the print calls + log.msg calls      Happening

I understand that this might be a trivial issue, but I am not able to figure
it out in the documentation available :(

Thanks for any help

Regards
Naman
