Did you mean "based on date"?

If you just want a log file whose name is date-based, you don't need a
rotating file handler. Compute the file name from the date and use the
API to create a FileHandler specifying that file name, and add it to
your logger. For example:
import logging, time
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, filename=time.strftime("/path/
to/my/logs/myapp-%Y-%m-%d-%H%M.log", time.localtime()), filemode="w")
logging.debug("Hello, world!")
Hopefully you can adapt this snippet to your needs.
