Vinay Sajip added the comment: This is not a bug: I think you are missing something. In the first example (interactive usage), the lines "import logging" and "import logging.handlers" do not magically introduce RotatingFileHandler into your interactive session's globals. To do this, you would have to say "from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler". An analogous example unrelated to logging:
ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 12 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on Python 2.4.3 (#69, Apr 11 2006, 15:32:42) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import httplib >>> HTTP Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'HTTP' is not defined >>> httplib.HTTP <class httplib.HTTP at 0x00A759F0> >>> In the second example (using fileConfig), the documentation in http://docs.python.org/lib/logging-config-fileformat.html clearly states that the class and arguments are evaluated using the logging package's namespace. This means that for a handler defined in the logging package itself (such as StreamHandler) no qualification is required, but for a handler defined in the handlers subpackage, you should specify "handlers.RotatingFileHandler" in the configuration file rather than "RotatingFileHandler" or "logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler". __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1436> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
