Making a quick run-through of the logging module, it looks like you need to have a Formatter object added to your Handler: filename = '/var/log/user/movies2.log' logFile = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(filename,'a',2000,4) formatter = logging.Formatter() logFile.setFormatter(formatter) ...then you can call emit.
