Why should it be all or nothing. Couldn't the programmer indicate that both handlers use the same file? For example if instead of pointing to a file the formatter points to another formatter then it is using the same file of the pointed formatter. Then both your points would be answered and the module would be a little bit better (I don't think I'll ever need that feature as I believe that a log should have all it's lines in the same format). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
