how to use logging.config.fileConfig ?

[Alexandru Moșoi]

Hello,

I have a problem using logging the library. I copied and modified the
example from PEP 282 [0], [1], [2], [3].
If I use logging.basicConfig() everything works fine. If I use
logging.config.fileConfig() my loggers get disabled. I checked logging/
config.py and I found a big comment saying that old loggers are
disabled! Why? What am I doing wrong? How do I use
logging.config.fileConfig() to avoid this problem ?


with logging.config.fileconfig()
