Module Hierarchy

• logging: Logging package for Python.
  • config: Configuration functions for the logging package for Python.
  • handlers: Additional handlers for the logging package for Python.

Class Hierarchy

• logging.BufferingFormatter: A formatter suitable for formatting a number of records.
• logging.Filter: Filter instances are used to perform arbitrary filtering of LogRecords.
• logging.Filterer: A base class for loggers and handlers which allows them to share common code.
  • logging.Handler: Handler instances dispatch logging events to specific destinations.
    • logging.handlers.BufferingHandler: A handler class which buffers logging records in memory.
      • logging.handlers.MemoryHandler: A handler class which buffers logging records in memory, periodically flushing them to a target handler.
    • logging.handlers.HTTPHandler: A class which sends records to a Web server, using either GET or POST semantics.
    • logging.handlers.NTEventLogHandler: A handler class which sends events to the NT Event Log.
    • logging.handlers.SMTPHandler: A handler class which sends an SMTP email for each logging event.
    • logging.handlers.SocketHandler: A handler class which writes logging records, in pickle format, to a streaming socket.
      • logging.handlers.DatagramHandler: A handler class which writes logging records, in pickle format, to a datagram socket.
    • logging.StreamHandler: A handler class which writes logging records, appropriately formatted, to a stream.
      • logging.FileHandler: A handler class which writes formatted logging records to disk files.
        • logging.handlers.BaseRotatingHandler: Base class for handlers that rotate log files at a certain point.
          • logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler: Handler for logging to a set of files, which switches from one file to the next when the current file reaches a certain size.
          • logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler: Handler for logging to a file, rotating the log file at certain timed intervals.
    • logging.handlers.SysLogHandler: A handler class which sends formatted logging records to a syslog server.
  • logging.Logger: Instances of the Logger class represent a single logging channel.
    • logging.RootLogger: A root logger is not that different to any other logger, except that it must have a logging level and there is only one instance of it in the hierarchy.
• logging.Formatter: Formatter instances are used to convert a LogRecord to text.
• logging.LogRecord: A LogRecord instance represents an event being logged.
• logging.Manager: There is [under normal circumstances] just one Manager instance, which holds the hierarchy of loggers.
• logging.PlaceHolder: PlaceHolder instances are used in the Manager logger hierarchy to take the place of nodes for which no loggers have been defined.
