Jānis Šlapiņš added the comment: Many examples in the internet only show the usage of the filename parameter of basicConfig() and almost no one shows how to use the stream. That's why I wanted to use the filename parameter. But now I tested other options and they work for me. My case may be very specific as I need to log words in very different languages including not only those having the Latin script but also cyrillic - Russian, Greek etc.
Regarding the codecs module and open() - yes, I made a mistake. There is no need for that in Python3. About sys.stdout. I understand the redirection in the following way (also shown in the Dive Into Python book): normal_stdout = sys.stdout sys.stdout = open(mylogfile, 'w', encoding='utf-8') logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stdout) After that, all the STDOUT goes to mylogfile. In order to send the output to the terminal window again, sys.stdout must be set back to normal: sys.stdout = normal_stdout ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26606> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
