Where does 'logFile' come from.


> logFileLevel = logging.DEBUG
> fh.setLevel(logFileLevel)
> format_string = '%(process)d %(thread)d %(asctime)-15s %(levelname)-5s
> at %(filename)-15s in %(funcName)-10s at line %(lineno)-3d "%(message)

Try to reduce the example to a small, complete program that exhibits the problem.

Is this a complete listing?
