Well, as Piet van Oostrum pointed out, your problem in the first code you posted was that you used '%m' rather than '%M' for the minutes. (Good eye Van Oostrum!) But now in this function you seem to have the correct '%M' field. Are you still having the same output after changing that? In any event, here's a rewritten version of that function that's a little cleaner, FWIW. from os.path import join from time import strftime format = '%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S' def log_out(msg, servername='std.out'): print msg msg = "%s - %s %s\n" % (servername, strftime(format), msg) log_file = open(join(log_dir, servername + ".log"), 'a') try: log_file.write(msg) finally: log_file.close() But why not just use the logging module? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How come your strftime is now different from the first posting? Are you cheating? If you want to ask a question about why your code is not working properly there are a few important rules: 1. Copy and paste your code, and at least all relevant stuff (preferably a minimal example that shows the problem). *DO NOT RETYPE THE CODE* 2. Copy and paste the output. *DO NOT RETYPE THE OUTPUT* 3. Tell what the expected or desired output is. -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
