On one of my projects, I had a YAML configuration which I loaded into
a dict using PyYAML, then configured logging from that. I propose to
generalise that solution to add a new function to logging.config
called dictConfig() which takes a dict as an argument and uses that to
configure logging. In practice the dict can of course come from a
literal in the code (your example), or a JSON or YAML string.
The important thing is to get the dict schema right and to make it
easy to generalise for user-defined handlers etc. So I will be posting
a proposal on python-dev to get comments and suggestions, and
providing a standalone implementation so that people have something
specific to comment on. Following a period for feedback (and assuming
the python devs don't shoot the idea down in flames), I propose to
actually implement this functionality in Python logging itself,
perhaps in 2.7/3.2.
However, to make it easy to use in Django and other systems which have
to work with older versions of Python, the functionality will be in
the form of a class (working title: DictConfigurator) which can just
be copied into Django (as has been suggested for other bits of
logging, such as WatchedFileHandler and NullHandler.
Comments welcome.
