If you're asking about the Windows event logs, then it'll be easiest from a scripting POV to use wevtutil.exe [1] with an XPath query that outputs XML. Make sure to use the /uni:true option to get UTF-16 output; otherwise it outputs a lossy ANSI encoding. You can run it using subprocess.check_output. [1]: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732848 As far as exporting the data, the standard library supports XML processing. Here's an example that logs a warning to the Application log using "Python" as the provider. Next it executes wevtutil.exe with a query for events logged by the "Python" provider. Then I parse the output using ElementTree. import logging import logging.handlers import subprocess import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET handler = logging.handlers.NTEventLogHandler('Python') logging.getLogger().addHandler(handler) logging.warn('スパムと卵') wevtutil = 'wevtutil.exe query-events Application /uni:true /q:"{}"' query = "*[System[Provider[@Name='Python']]]" out = subprocess.check_output(wevtutil.format(query)) root = ET.fromstring(out.decode('utf-16')) ns = {'event': 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event'} >>> root.find('.//event:Provider', ns).attrib {'Name': 'Python'} >>> root.find('.//event:Level', ns).text '3' >>> root.find('.//event:Channel', ns).text 'Application' >>> root.find('.//event:Data', ns).text 'スパムと卵' -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
