No need to do such magic. Just set logging up as you would normally. The first logging instance should pick up logs from everywhere. For example: === aurqt/aqds.py === class AQDS: logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)-15s [%(levelname)-7s] ' ':%(name)-10s: %(message)s', filename=os.path.join(confdir, 'aurqt.log'), level=logging.DEBUG) log = logging.getLogger('aurqt') console = logging.StreamHandler() console.setLevel(logging.INFO) console.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('[%(levelname)-7s] ' ':%(name)-10s: %(message)s')) logging.getLogger('').addHandler(console) log.info('*** aurqt v' + __version__) === pkgbuilder/pbds.py === class PBDS: logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)-15s [%(levelname)-7s] ' ':%(name)-10s: %(message)s', filename=os.path.join(confdir, 'pkgbuilder.log'), level=logging.DEBUG) log = logging.getLogger('pkgbuilder') log.info('*** PKGBUILDer v' + __version__) === aurqt/__init__.py === from .aqds import AQDS DS = AQDS() import pkgbuilder # ← also imports pkgbuilder.DS = pkgbuilder.pbds.PBDS() === bin/aurqt output === [INFO ] :aurqt : *** aurqt v0.1.0 [INFO ] :requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool: Starting new HTTPS connection (1): aur.archlinux.org [WARNING] :pkgbuilder: tty-clock version is a date, ignored for downgrade. === {confdir}/aurqt.log === 2013-04-24 19:34:21,079 [INFO ] :aurqt : *** aurqt v0.1.0 2013-04-24 19:35:19,096 [WARNING] :requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool: Starting new HTTPS connection (1): aur.archlinux.org 2013-04-24 19:35:21,004 [WARNING] :pkgbuilder: tty-clock version is a date, ignored for downgrade. -- Kwpolska <http://kwpolska.tk> | GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post http://asciiribbon.org | http://caliburn.nl/topposting.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
