Yeah, I think this is the cause. Unfortunately I'm using a couple dozen files and a bunch more libraries and if they're doing a logging.debug() or whatnot they're creating this. Do you have any ideas how I can trace where the first call is made? This seems a newbie question but if I have a bunch of other files which do stuff like "from sqlalchemy import *" they might be invoking a logging call so I'm not sure how to chase these down. > (b) Make calls on a specific named logger, e.g. > logging.getLogger("logtest2").error("foo"), rather than > logging.error("foo") which is for casual/unsophisticated use only. I'm dreading having to be so verbose with my (copious) loggers, which is why I was curious if there was a way to nuke any auto-created ones. I thought calling logging.shutdown() before configuring my loggers might do this but it didn't. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
