Taken from http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html: logging.getLoggerClass() Return either the standard Logger class, or the last class passed to setLoggerClass(). This function may be called from within a new class definition, to ensure that installing a customised Logger class will not undo customisations already applied by other code. For example: class MyLogger(logging.getLoggerClass()): # ... override behaviour here logging.setLoggerClass(klass) Tells the logging system to use the class klass when instantiating a logger. The class should define __init__() such that only a name argument is required, and the __init__() should call Logger.__init__(). This function is typically called before any loggers are instantiated by applications which need to use custom logger behavior. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
