It struck me as somewhat complicated as well. Looking at the basic example: http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/node304.html ... the things that first-time users shouldn't be bothered with IMO are: 1. Getting a logger by name from a hierarchical namespace. There should be a module-level log function that logs through the root logger. 2. Formatting the message (use a sensible default) 3. Adding a handler to a logger (artefact of the logging system). 4. Setting a log level (use a sensible default). Perhaps there should be some module-level functions that make it easier to 'just log this message to that file'. But I do think that adding logging to a cgi script is a sensible thing to do for a beginner. Getting that to run in a debugger is probably way more complicated. -- René Pijlman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
