Hi, I have the following situation:
My application uses nosetests to discover&run the unittests. I pass the log configuration file as --logging-config=logging.conf Everything works just fine, the logs are printed as required by the configuration file which makes me happy. I take this as a sign that my logging.conf is correct Then in my main script, which starts the production application, I have this line: logging.config.fileConfig("logging.conf") The logging module is configured without errors BUT my output.log is EMPTY. It's like all the messages are filtered. If I configure logging like this: logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)s: %(message)s', datefmt='%m-%d %H:%M:%S', filename=file, filemode='w') Then the logs are printed ok. Then I tried this: file = logging.FileHandler(logFileBasename, 'w') file.setLevel(logging.INFO) # set a format which is simpler for console use formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s',) # tell the handler to use this format file.setFormatter(formatter) # add the handler to the root logger logging.getLogger('').addHandler(file) logging.getLogger('') ...which also leaves my output file EMPTY. I'm out of ideas. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance! ovidiu Here is my logging.conf: [formatters] keys: detailed,simple [handlers] keys: console,file [loggers] keys: root [formatter_simple] format: %(name)s:%(levelname)s: %(message)s [formatter_detailed] format: %(name)s:%(levelname)s %(module)s:%(lineno)d: %(message)s [handler_console] class: StreamHandler args: [] formatter: detailed [handler_file] class=FileHandler level=DEBUG formatter=detailed args=('output.log', 'w') filename=output.log mode=w [logger_root] level: INFO handlers: file propagate: 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
