I'm not at all surprised that the OP didn't understand how it
works. I've been writing Python programs for over 20 years, and it's
beyond me.
I know what you mean! I have never used the Python logging package, but
I inherited a java project that uses Log4j. Talk about obscure! The
python docs are a wonder of clarity beside Log4j. So most of my Log4j
configuration has been by copy-pasta, with occasional surprises and
Log4j bug bites. Like a handler that deleted its own previous log file
when it rolled over at midnight - a "feature" that wasn't advertised.
I will say, though, that having used a bit of Log4j must have been
helpful, since much of what is in the Python logging package docs seemed
somewhat familiar and even seemed to make sense.
BTW, I was able to re-create that java project using Jython for about
90% of it. Way better!
