I'd be interested in a step by step guide to setting up this kind of logging. I'm new to web2py and python and I think it would help my learning.
I already get some good info by monitoring the http log file with the free Kiwi log viewer (on Windows) which tails the file. Could someone explain step by step how to set up the Python logging module to write to a file from a web2py application. Thanks!
