Hi, I was reading through Python Logging tutorial, and I found one scenario which I couldnt properly understand. The tutorial (http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html) mentions at first that -- "Multiple calls to getLogger() with the same name will return a reference to the same logger object".
In an example for Python Logging Adapter, the tutorial then mentions that - "While it might be tempting to create Logger instances on a per- connection basis, this is not a good idea because these instances are not garbage collected". I am confused reading both together. I will try to explain my confusion with an example: basicLogger = logging.getLogger("basic") Class A(): def __init__(self): self.logger = logging.getLogger("basic.class_a") Now, I make say 10 instances of A and then delete one by one. My understanding was that since the same name is used, a single basic.class_a logger object is created inside the logging system, and any calls to getLogger("basic.class_a") would return the same object everytime. So, my confusion is based on the second tutorial item I mentioned - why is it not a good idea to create logger instances on a per-instance basis? We are not creating new instances, right? And, if I create an instance of A, it will be garbage collected later, right? Could somebody help me out? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
