Log IPython output? - ipython

Question

Is there any way to make IPython's logging capability include output as well as input?
This is what a log file looks like currently:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# 2012-08-06.py
# IPython automatic logging file
# 12:02
# =================================
print "test"
I'd like to have one more line show up:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# 2012-08-06.py
# IPython automatic logging file
# 12:02
# =================================
print "test"
# test
(the # is because I assume that is needed to prevent breaking IPython's logplay feature)
I suppose this is possible using IPython notebooks, but on at least one machine I need this for, I'm limited to ipython 0.10.2.
EDIT: I'd like to know how to set this up automatically, i.e. within the configuration file. Right now my config looks like
from time import strftime
import os
logfilename = strftime('ipython_log_%Y-%m-%d')+".py"
logfilepath = "%s/%s" % (os.getcwd(),logfilename)
file_handle = open(logfilepath,'a')
file_handle.write('########################################################\n')
out_str = '# Started Logging At: '+ strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\n')
file_handle.write(out_str)
file_handle.write('########################################################\n')
file_handle.close()
c.TerminalInteractiveShell.logappend = logfilepath
c.TerminalInteractiveShell.logstart = True
but specifying c.TerminalInteractiveShell.log_output = True seems to have no affect

There's the -o option for %logstart:
-o: log also IPython's output. In this mode, all commands which
generate an Out[NN] prompt are recorded to the logfile, right after
their corresponding input line. The output lines are always
prepended with a '#[Out]# ' marker, so that the log remains valid
Python code.
ADDENDUM: If you are in an interactive ipython session for which logging has already been started, you must first stop logging and then restart:
In [1]: %logstop
In [2]: %logstart -o
Activating auto-logging. Current session state plus future input saved.
Filename : ./ipython.py
Mode : backup
Output logging : True
Raw input log : False
Timestamping : False
State : active
Observe that, after the restart, "Output Logging" is now "True".
