I want to delete the file from outside the process while it is running, so in the code I have no idea when that is... I meant subclassing logging.Handler, which I went ahead and tried and it seems to work as I like. Basically in emit I do 1. open log file 2. write msg to it 3. close file / Rikard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
