If you use basicConfig() to configure the logging system, you get a format string of "%(levelname)s:%(name)s:%(message)s", which gives you output like you say you're expecting. If you don't, the default format used is just "%(message)s", which gives you only the message part. The format used by basicConfig is available as BASIC_FORMAT; if you want that format you can initialise a formatter and attach it to your handler: f = logging.Formatter(logging.BASIC_FORMAT) fh.setFormatter(f) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
