You've been most helpful, Vinay. The PEP section on Filters states that I can do what I've been trying to do with filters, but doesn't provide enough information to do it (or, at least, I'm too thick to guess at how it would work by looking at the API and PEP and trying a dozen different ways). Luckily, the examples you point to from your original package do provide enough info; log_test15.py held the key. I still feel like it would be more intuitive if filters were inherited down the hierarchy instead of having to go through the extra steps of getting at the root handler first, but I'm sure there are good reasons for not doing this. One more question, is there any way to get the list of all named loggers (from the Manager, perhaps)? Or... maybe I don't need this, either, as MatchFilter (log_test18.py) seems to do what I was thinking I need the list of logger names for... most excellent. Thanks, Gary BTW, the python logging module is one of the best readily available loggers I've come across in any language. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
