Summary: logging module '.' behavior
Initial Comment:
I would like a trailing '.' to be ignored in names
passed to getLogger(), like a trainling '/' in a Unix path.
In module 'foo':
logfoo = getLogger('.foo.')
# logger '"" should be the parent of ".foo"
Elsewhere, controlled by the user of that module:
import foo
logdefault = getLogger('.')
hdlr = StreamHandler()
fmtr = Formatter("%(name)s:%(msg)s")
hdlr.setFormatter(fmtr)
logdefault.addHandler(hdlr)
Given this change, I would also like the name of the
default logger to be displayed as '.', or even "",
rather than 'root'. The current behavior is odd:
logfoo.info("Foo message")
displays
.foo:Foo message
buf
logdefault.info("Default message")
displays
root:Default message
I NEVER mentioned the word "root" anywhere! And I don't
think it's very descriptive.
I would rather see ANY of these:
:Default message
.:Default message
default:Default message
logging:Default message
These changes would make the system more intuitive.
