python logging - where has the log file gone

Question

I am trying to add logging to my script,and followed python logging tutorial

example code

import logging

logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log',level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.debug('This message should go to the log file')
logging.info('So should this')
logging.warning('And this, too')

But I cannot find the example.log file at the directory where the script is in.And as I call os.getcwd(),it returns C:\\users\\eda.No log is there either.

There's nothing wrong with your script. However, be clear that the log file will be saved in the same directory as that from which the script was invoked, since you didn't specify an absolute path.
