Python Custom FileHandler in logging.conf

[bishaq]

I have added a custom File handler to create a log file append with date and time in a specified directory. Everything works fine if I have my main.py and logconfig.py and MyFileHandler.p y in the same directory. As soon as I move my logconfig.py and MyFileHandler.p y in a different directory, my code starts throwing following error.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Python has a specific search path stored in a list. You can see it with

import sys
print sys.path
##
## You can add other directories to be searched with
sys.path.append("/the/new/directory")

Can you please be specific as I am new to Python

There is no way to tell what "specific" means as the original answer was specific, i.e. everything you need to do. Please post a simple example of what you have tried to add the directory where you moved the programs to the Python search path.
