Here's a minimal example:
import logging
from logging.handlers import SMTPHandler
if __name__ == "__main__":
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
mail_handler = SMTPHandler(
"smtp.example.com",
"naviga...@example.com",
"captain.n...@example.com",
"fyi")
mail_handler.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
root = logging.getLogger()
root.addHandler(mail_handler)
# will print amessage
root.warn("this is fishy")
# will print a message and send an email
root.critical("giant squid sighted")

Thank you, but yes I agree it's not terribly informative is it.
However I think I understand what I need to do. I currently have a
function to set up my logging:-
def initLog(name):
log = logging.getLogger(name)
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
f = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler("/home/chris/tmp/mail.log",
'a', 100, 4)
f.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s -
%(message)s')
f.setFormatter(formatter)
log.addHandler(f)
return log
As I understand it I just add another line like the 'f =' line but
using the SMTPHandler and then set an appropriate level for that
handler (and formatting).
