Is there any way to use the logging module adding nothing to a message

I want to use Python to handle the stdout logging that comes from syncthing. When you run syncthing it logs to stdout in a fairly standard format with date, time, ERROR/WARNING/INFO etc. so I don't want to add these. I just want to be able to write the log to a file with appropriate rotation etc.

How to get a directory list sorted by date?

Does anyone here use sqledit/sqlkit? It's a sqlite database browser/editor which does most of its work by introspection (at least I think that's the right name for it). Thus it's trivially simple to write a gui program to edit data in a database:- #!/usr/bin/python from sqlkit.widgets
