I do it by: 1. Replacing the default date format string to exclude ms. 2. Including %(msecs)03d in the format string where appropriate. Using 'd' instead of s truncates rather than shows the full float value. So in your case, I believe that changing your formatter creation to: formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt='%(asctime)s.%(msecs)03d \t %(name)s \t %(levelname)s \t %(message)s', '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') should work. This uses the same date format as the default, but without ms, though of course you could also opt to make any other date format you prefer. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
