logging.config.fileConfig() does not do incremental configuration - it replaces the existing configuration with the configuration in the file passed to fileConfig. While this might not be too useful for your current needs, the present behaviour is by design...fileConfig is meant to choose between one of a number of configurations (e.g. development, test, production) and not for incremental configuration.
