logging in python

Question

i want to create separate logging file in python like info.log, debug.log, error.log i have a setting file(logging.conf) for logging as given below

[loggers]
keys=root,simpleExample

[handlers]
keys=consoleHandler

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler

[logger_simpleExample]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler
qualname=simpleExample
propagate=0

[handler_consoleHandler]
class=StreamHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=(sys.stdout,)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
datefmt=

and i have created logging.py file as given below

import logging
import logging.config

logging.config.fileConfig('logging.conf')

# create logger
logger = logging.getLogger('simpleExample')

# 'application' code
logger.debug('debug message')
logger.info('info message')
logger.warn('warn message')
logger.error('error message')
logger.critical('critical message')

but when execute logging.py file i am getting following result in consol

2012-12-10 13:30:20,030 - simpleExample - DEBUG - debug message
2012-12-10 13:30:20,031 - simpleExample - INFO - info message
2012-12-10 13:30:20,032 - simpleExample - WARNING - warn message
2012-12-10 13:30:20,032 - simpleExample - ERROR - error message
2012-12-10 13:30:20,033 - simpleExample - CRITICAL - critical message

as i have told i want to create separate file in log.info, debug.info, error.info. thanks in advance

You need to config multiple handler to output different level log to different files. For example, you want to INFO level log to info.log, you can define a fileHandler with INFO filer

class MyFilter(logging.Filter):
    def filter(self, rec):
        return rec.levelno == logging.INFO

class MyHandler(logging.FileHandler):
    def __init__(self, *arg, **kw):
        logging.FileHandler.__init__(self, *arg, **kw)
        self.addFilter(MyFilter())

And add it to logging namespace:

logging.MyHandler = MyHandler

so you can use it in your config file:

[handlers]
keys=consoleHandler,onlyinfoHandler
[handler_onlyinfoHandler]
class=MyHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=('info.log','w')

You can continue to add others or use level as handler args.
