I suppose we could, but at least when we start via web2py.py, it's good to see the startup messages directed to stdout before web2py daemonizes. The nice thing about having a standard logging configuration file is that it gives the user a lot more control over things. For example, if I understand the logging module correctly, it could be used to send logging to syslog. A question, though: web2py can run in various deployment modes. I'm wondering if there's a central place to configure logging, common to all modes? rocket does installs logging.NullHandler, for example. I'm unclear on the implications of that for web2py applications. > > On Aug 10, 12:28 pm, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: >> web2py makes semi-extensive use of the Python logging module, but (near as I >> can tell) it never changes the output away from the default stdout. >> >> Is this true, and if so isn't it a problem?
