Thanks for the clarification and doc pointers. I saw "lastResort" attribute in the code but had not fully understood what was going on. I am not certain I really do now, but that's ok. That's why we read docs, read and write code. Eventually it starts making sense. It appears that there is history to contend with or complications provoked by threads. I had not yet read the lastResort discussion in the documentation. That's deep in the advanced tutorial, I was getting tripped up by simple examples that I concocted from very simple cases, which can be on the fringes of actual usage. I wonder why "lastResort" differs from the built-in default. I was playing with basicConfig because I wanted to experiment with formatting and level, and I managed to generate messages that seemed unrelated to formating I had specified. For now it appears that after import logging I can add logging.warning('') and achieve what I want. I get the default format where I expect rather than lastResort format. I prefer the default format that I get from the internal call to basicConfig. I can imagine the there will be a situation where I want the even simpler "last resort format". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34107> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
