logging into one file problem

[Maksim Kasimov]

hello

in my modules, I'm using logging module, doing thus (there is a few modules):


in module1.py:
hdl = logging.StreamH andler()
fmt = logging.Formatt er("%(name)s:\t %(levelname)s:\ t%(asctime)s:\t %(message)s")
hdl.setFormatte r(fmt)
log = logging.getLogg er('module1')
log.addHandler( hdl)



In script, which is uses these modules, I'm doing in a similar way:


in script.py:
hdl = logging.StreamH andler()
fmt = logging.Formatt er("%(name)s:\t %(levelname)s:\ t%(asctime)s:\t %(message)s")
hdl.setFormatte r(fmt)
log = logging.getLogg er('script')
log.addHandler( hdl)



Than, to direct all output into one log-file I'm doing like this:

script.py >> script.log 2>&1


All works as expected - all output in one file (script.log), but only until syslog will rotate script.log, than output to log-file stops.

How to avoid this situation?

i can't using something like this:

hdl = logging.FileHan dler('script.lo g')

because modules are used in other scripts, and log output of each application must be in different files.

and doing in script.py like this:

module.hdl = hdl
module.log = log

will works, but it is very inconvenient, because in main script, i'm not importing all the modules (some modules imported by other modules).


thanks for help.

Will the following do what you want?

Don't add handlers in each module. Just add a handler to the root
logger in the main script. Thus:

module1.py:
import logging
logger = logging.getLogg er('module1')
#now use the logger in your code

module2.py:
import logging
logger = logging.getLogg er('module2')
#now use the logger in your code

script.py:
import logging
logging.basicCo nfig(level=logg ing.DEBUG,
format='%(ascti me)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
filename='/tmp/script.log',
filemode='w') # this only works with 2.4+ - for
earlier versions, need to do as in your original post

Then, the output from loggers 'module1' and 'module2' will end up in
'/tmp/script.log' automatically.
