I'm trying to use pythons logging.handlers.SMTPHandler with a configuration file (so that I don't have to have passwords etc. inside of the script)
Now the guide I'm following is [URL="http://docs.python.org/library/ logging.html#configuration-file-format"]here[/URL], now the RotatingFileHandler is working, but I never receive an email, or an error for the SMTPHandler. Anyway here's the python code import logging import logging.config logDir = "./logs/" logging.config.fileConfig(logDir+'logging.conf') logging.getLogger('email') logging.debug('THIS IS A DEBUG MESSAGE') logging.error('THIS IS AN ERROR') And here's the config file [loggers] keys=root,email [logger_root] level=DEBUG handlers=rotatingFileHandler [logger_email] level=ERROR handlers=email qualname=email [formatters] keys=emailFormatter,rotatingFormatter [formatter_emailFormatter] format=%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s [formatter_rotatingFormatter] format=%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s datefmt=%m-%d %H:%M [handlers] keys=email,rotatingFileHandler [handler_email] class=handlers.SMTPHandler level=ERROR formatter=emailFormatter args=('mail.xx.cocom','f...@abc.com',['t...@def.com',],'ERROR!', ('user','passwd')) [handler_rotatingFileHandler] class=handlers.RotatingFileHandler level=DEBUG formatter=rotatingFormatter args=('./logs/log.out', 'maxBytes=1000000', 'backupCount=5') Because I wasn't getting an error I decided to temporarily add some print statements into .\Lib\logging\handlers.py, In SMTPHandler __init__ I print out mailhost, from, to etc. And these are all correct. I then inserted a few print statements into the different levels of emit to see which branch of the logic it was following. None of the print statements print. Which leads me to believe emit() is never being called and therefore the email never gets sent. So what am I doing wrong? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
