Hi, I took a look at the logging source code. getLogger checks for existing loggers with the given name and if it doesn't creates one.
def getLogger(self, name): """ Get a logger with the specified name (channel name), creating it if it doesn't yet exist. This name is a dot-separated hierarchical name, such as "a", "a.b", "a.b.c" or similar. If a PlaceHolder existed for the specified name [i.e. the logger didn't exist but a child of it did], replace it with the created logger and fix up the parent/child references which pointed to the placeholder to now point to the logger. """ rv = None _acquireLock() try: if name in self.loggerDict: rv = self.loggerDict[name] if isinstance(rv, PlaceHolder): ph = rv rv = (self.loggerClass or _loggerClass)(name) rv.manager = self self.loggerDict[name] = rv self._fixupChildren(ph, rv) self._fixupParents(rv) else: rv = (self.loggerClass or _loggerClass)(name) rv.manager = self self.loggerDict[name] = rv self._fixupParents(rv) finally: _releaseLock() return rv ============================================== Anand Jeyahar https://sites.google.com/site/<https://sites.google.com/site/aangjie/home/quotes> anandjeyahar ============================================== The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all.
