How can I use the logging module in Python to write to a file? Every time I try to use it, it just prints out the message.
An example of using logging.basicConfig
rather than logging.fileHandler()
logging.basicConfig(filename=logname,
filemode='a',
format='%(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d %(name)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.info("Running Urban Planning")
logger = logging.getLogger('urbanGUI')
In order, the five parts do the following:
filename=logname
)filemode='a'
) rather than overwrite (filemode='w'
)format=...
)datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
)level=logging.DEBUG
).
