So maybe I don't have all this figured out quite as well as I thought. What I really want to do is set an environment variable, MYDEBUG, which contains a list of wildcarded logger names, such as "a.*.c a.d" (which becomes ['a.*.c', 'a.d'], and then selectively crank the loglevel up to DEBUG for those that match.
In order to do that, I think I need something kind of like filters, but for logger name... I'm not seeing how to do this, even after playing with variations of test15, 18, and 21. What I do have working at the moment is passing a list of non-wildcard logger names, i.e., doing the wildcard expansion manually such as "['a.b.c', 'a.c.c', 'a.f.c', 'a.d']. Is there anyway to automate this dynamically? BTW, I do understand that 'a.d' is essentially equivalent to 'a.d.*', but I'm dealing with a hierarchy that doesn't always tidy up like that. For example, I have top.network.server.http, top.network.server.smtp, top.network.client.http, and top.network.client.smtp. Obviously, if I only want server or client DEBUG msgs, this is easy. And sometimes that's exactly what I want. Other times, I want only smtp DEBUG msgs, and the hierarchy won't help me get that (unless I break it for just getting client or server msgs), etc. So I would really like to figure out how to do 'a.*.c'. Any ideas? Thanks again, Gary On Jan 23, 3:01 am, "Vinay Sajip" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Glad the tests/examples (log_testxx.py) helped.
