Thank you for an informative post. The logging module would be much simpler to use if it had
better constructors. The syntax ought to look like this:

format = “%(asctime)s – %(name)s – %(lineno)s – %(levelname)s – %(message)s”
logfilename = “/var/log/myapp/my_super_app.log”
filelog = logging.FileHandler(logfilename, ‘a’, level= INFO, format=format)
conlog = logging.StreamHandler(level=DEBUG, format=format)
logger = logging.getLogger(sys.argv[0], level = DEBUG, handlers=[filelog,conlog])

[...] What follows is the setup I have settled on after a good bit of trial and error. It involves a little more effort than the minimum needed, but it’s a lot safer and more informative. It makes use of the logging module, whose setup I will assume. For more information on it, check out my article on simple logging in Python. [...]
