Quote from the docs: FORMAT = "%(asctime)-15s %(clientip)s %(user)-8s %(message)s" logging.basicConfig(format=FORMAT) d = {'clientip': '192.168.0.1', 'user': 'fbloggs'} logging.warning("Protocol problem: %s", "connection reset", extra=d)
would print something like 2006-02-08 22:20:02,165 192.168.0.1 fbloggs Protocol problem: connection reset If we try to run that exact example, which doesn't seem logically flawed in any way: >>> import logging >>> FORMAT = "%(asctime)-15s %(clientip)s %(user)-8s %(message)s" >>> logging.basicConfig(format=FORMAT) >>> d = {'clientip': '192.168.0.1', 'user': 'fbloggs'} >>> logging.warning("Protocol problem: %s", "connection reset", extra=d) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/logging/__init__.py", line 1266, in warning apply(root.warning, (msg,)+args, kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/logging/__init__.py", line 969, in warning apply(self._log, (WARNING, msg, args), kwargs) TypeError: _log() got an unexpected keyword argument 'extra' I tried using **d instead, no show. I tried extra=d in Python 2.4, no show. I tried **d in Python 2.4, no show. So, my question unto the lot of you is: Do the docs for the logging module lie to me?
