How to get filename from a python logger

Question

I have the following code

job_logger = logging.getLogger("abc")
job_handler = logging.FileHandler(filename)
job_logger.addHandler(job_handler)
print job_logger.something

I want to know the filename from the job_logger object. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Assuming the job_logger object has only one handler for now.

>>> handler = job_logger.handlers[0]
>>> filename = handler.baseFilename
>>> print(filename)
'/tmp/test_logging_file'

And when there're multiple handlers, design your logic to get them all or get the very last one.
