What did you try, and what exception did it throw? Show your code, and either say precisely in what way it didn't work or post the full exception traceack. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

No. Can you be more specific? All the documentation I've found for the syslog module is for _generating_ log entries (it's a wrapper for the Unix syslog library). That's not what the OP asked about. The OP asked about parsing syslog files, not generating syslog file entries. Parsing syslog files is not a well-defined problem. The format of a syslog file depends on which system log daemon you're running and now it's configured. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

Parse syslog files, presumably -- that's what he asked about. What did you try, and what exception did it throw? I'm rather at a loss as to how the syslog module can be used to parse syslog files. Perhaps somebody can be a little more detailed? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow! I am a jelly donut. at I am a jelly donut. gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

All the documentation I've found for the syslog module is for _generating_ log entries (it's a wrapper for the Unix syslog library). Thanks for understand me. That's not what the OP asked about. The OP asked about parsing syslog files, not generating syslog file entries. Can syslog module parsing syslog messages? I give you example for better explain this matter; I can parse perl module( http://search.cpan.org/dist/Parse-Syslog/lib/Parse/Syslog.pm). I obtained host,program,message text. I want to do them with python. Parsing syslog files is not a well-defined problem.

Re: Python log parser
i know literally nothing about syslogs, but a google search for python syslog parser shows that some people have had success using the pyparsing module: http://www.j-schmitz.net/blog/how-to-parse-a-syslog-logfile-in-python https://gist.github.com/leandrosilva/3651640 hth, Don -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
