Summary: logging fileConfig swallows handler exception
Initial Comment:
If you specify a handler such as a RotatingFileHandler
and the path you provide in the args specification
('option') is bad, config.fileConfig() catches the
exception and 'swallows' it. The result is later on,
when that handler is specified for a logger, you get an
exception saying there is no such handler. A much
friendlier behavior would be for fileConfig() to raise
an exception so the real cause of the problem can be
easily identified. Also, if there is a bug in the code
itself, it would also get swallowed in similar fashion.
In general, silently swallowing exceptions is rarely
the best choice IMHO.
Example ini with bad path (assuming /bad/path does not
exist):
[handler_defaultrotatingfile]
class=handlers.RotatingFileHandler
args=("/bad/path/logdir/my_log.log", 'w', 100000, 10)
formatter=std

Ok, then the bug has already been fixed (or superseded by
changes to the code).
I'll close this report: if you want to use the latest code,
just download it from the Python subversion repository. It
should run without problems in 2.4.2.

Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
ABOVE IS THE PYTHON SIGNON
I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED THE config.py FROM THE INSTALL. IT
CONTAINS NO _install_handlers
APPEARS TO BE A VERY DIFFERENT VERSION FROM YOURS
