Or you can even do the following Python dance:

     def gen_to_file(filename, arg1, arg2):
         import sys
         former, sys.stdout = sys.stdout, open("output.html", "w")
         try:
             genpage(arg1, arg2)
         finally:
             htmlfile, sys.stdout = sys.stdout, former
             htmlfile.close()
         print 'file %r written' % filename
