Logging to two files with different settings

Question

I am already using a basic logging config where all messages across all modules are stored in a single file. However, I need a more complex solution now:

• Two files: the first remains the same.
• The second file should have some custom format.

I have been reading the docs for the module, bu they are very complex for me at the moment. Loggers, handlers...

So, in short:

How to log to two files in Python 3, ie:

import logging # ... logging.file1.info('Write this to file 1') logging.file2.info('Write this to file 2')

You can do something like this:

import logging formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')   def setup_logger(name, log_file, level=logging.INFO):     """To setup as many loggers as you want"""      handler = logging.FileHandler(log_file)             handler.setFormatter(formatter)      logger = logging.getLogger(name)     logger.setLevel(level)     logger.addHandler(handler)      return logger  # first file logger logger = setup_logger('first_logger', 'first_logfile.log') logger.info('This is just info message')  # second file logger super_logger = setup_logger('second_logger', 'second_logfile.log') super_logger.error('This is an error message')  def another_method():    # using logger defined above also works here    logger.info('Inside method')
