One thing that made little sense to me when I was first working on
this is the following variation on the original script:
#--begin test script--
import logging
forest = ["root","trunk","branch","leaf"]
lumber_jack = {forest[0] : logging.DEBUG
,forest[1] : logging.INFO
,forest[2] : logging.WARNING
,forest[3] : logging.ERROR }
log_name = []
for log in forest:
mounty = logging.FileHandler("%s%s.txt" % ("/home/smitty/mddl/",log))
log_name.append(log)
print "Instantiating %s" % ".".join(log_name)
timber = logging.getLogger(".".join(log_name))
#Comment out explit setting of level for logger
#timber.setLevel(lumber_jack[log])
#Commented out totally, called without argument, or called with
# logging.NOTSET all produce same output
#timber.setLevel(logging.NOTSET)
timber.addHandler(mounty)
if lumber_jack[log] == logging.DEBUG:
timber.debug( "%s's a lumberjack, and he's OK." % log)
elif lumber_jack[log] == logging.INFO:
timber.info( "%s's a lumberjack, and he's OK." % log)
elif lumber_jack[log] == logging.WARNING:
timber.warning("%s's a lumberjack, and he's OK." % log)
elif lumber_jack[log] == logging.ERROR:
timber.error( "%s's a lumberjack, and he's OK." % log)
mounty.emit( logging.LogRecord( timber
, 0
, "/mnt/dmz/proj/mddl4/mddl.py"
, 37
, "burp?"
, None
, None ))
#--end test script--
#---
#expected output
#---
$ cat root.txt
root's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?
trunk's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat trunk.txt
trunk's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat branch.txt
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat leaf.txt
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?

#actual output

$ cat root.txt
burp?
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat trunk.txt
burp?
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat branch.txt
branch's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
$ cat leaf.txt
leaf's a lumberjack, and he's OK.
burp?
#-------
At any rate, I see now that I want to use logging.setLevel() to lay
in my own, more descriptive, levels, and then the straight
logging.log() function to do that for me.
Ah, the learning curve.
Best,
Chris
