The above is a shortcut for root = logging.getLogger("") root.debug("debug check") i. e. you are logging to the root logger. According to your config file messages sent to the root logger are only handled by the console handler: > [logger_root] > level=NOTSET > handlers=console You can either change that by adding the file handler to the list of handlers for the root logger handlers=console,file in the config file or by directing your logging messages to "mylogger" with mylogger = logging.getLogger("mylogger") mylogger.debug("debug check") Note that loggers are organized in a tree; messages sent to mylogger will be propagated upwords to the root logger by default. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
