This sounds like you're expecting that it's possible to create a setup
where one print statement will print to several file descriptors. That's
not (easily) possible [it is, but it's probably not worth the hassle: fork
a new process, 'hijack' stdout/stderr, let the new process read from this
fd and do with it whatever you want -- you'd still need one print statement
for each fd].

I suggest you either use indeed two print statements or 'tee' from the
shell commandline.
