That is a bit odd. I would have thought that multiple calls to logging.basicConfig with different parameters would have been acceptable. So something like logging.basicConfig ( filename='example.log',level=logging.DEBUG, format='%(asctime)s;%(levelname)s:%(message)s', level=logging.DEBUG) ) would presumably be accepted? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
