In an effort to clean up my python logging practices when creating libraries, I have begun reading into "Advanced Logging" and converting my logging practices into logging configuration `.ini` files:
[link](https://docs.python.org/3.4/howto/logging.html#configuring-logging) My question is: When defining a FileHandler in a `.ini` file, all of the examples that I've seen hardcode the name and location of the log file. In the code snippet below, `python.log` is hardcoded into the `.ini` file: ``` [handler_hand02] class=FileHandler level=DEBUG formatter=form02 args=('python.log', 'w') ``` [code reference link](https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-fileformat) Desired Behavior: On each run of the program, a new logfile is created in the `logs/` directory named "<timestamp>_program.log". Current Behavior: The format in the example above overwrites a single file called "python.log" on each run, which is not the desired behavior. Question: Is there a standard procedure for using .ini files to create a new logfile prepended with the current Unix timestamp on each run of the program? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
