I gave you a choice - to add the handler to the admin_logger OR the root logger. So I am saying here that if you added to the root logger (and not common_logger, assuming they're different), then there's nothing more to do... > > > Otherwise, you need to ensure that certain_logger is a child of > > common_logger. > > What I want to code is something like that. > a) I know thet this is a message for the admin only: > admin_logger.log('blabla') (admin_logger = root_logger > =logging.get_logger("")) > > b) certain_logger.log('something' => log to the root/admin/-sink as > well as to the > certain-sink. > > Do I have to create a logger subclass where I do the multiplexing of > theloggingmessages? > I'm pretty sure I miss something. ;-) > No, the logging package is designed to allow flexibility of different events being logged to different destinations. There's no need to subclass Logger to achieve what you're asking for. The following script: # simple.py import logging admin_logger = logging.getLogger("") # The root logger addressee_logger = logging.getLogger("addressee") admin_sink = logging.FileHandler("admin.log", "w") addressee_sink = logging.FileHandler("addressee.log", "w") admin_logger.addHandler(admin_sink) addressee_logger.addHandler(addressee_sink) admin_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) admin_logger.debug("This message appears in admin sink only.") addressee_logger.debug("This message appears in both admin sink and addressee sink." # - end of simple.py Generates the following results: ---------------------------------------------------------- admin.log ---------------------------------------------------------- This message appears in admin sink only. This message appears in both admin sink and addressee sink. ---------------------------------------------------------- addressee.log ---------------------------------------------------------- This message appears in both admin sink and addressee sink.
