Thanks Chris and JM, I will explore how much work it's going to take to change the various scripts to _always_ starting the logger from main(). As further explanation - this code predates the logging module, and many of the functions/classes had an optional argument for the home- made logger - and where the caller didn't provide it, it was locally created. The unit tests were carefully enough put together to provide almost complete coverage, resulting in creating the logger possibly a dozen or more times in the course of the tests.
So I appreciate what "doing it the right way" means, I was just hoping not to have to go there, as I have a lot of code that uses the old structures. It makes it harder to justify moving to the "newer" module. I'll have to try the logger.handlers=[] approach, thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
