[Tutor] Error Using Logging Module

[James]

All,

I'm having some trouble using the Python logging module.  Here's the  
snippet of code that's causing problems:

--------

# setting up logging using Python's logging module
LOGFILE = "/home/james/log"
logging.basicConfig( level=logging.DEBUG,
					format='%(asctime)s <> %(levelname)s <> %(message)s',
					datefmt='%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S',
					filename=LOGFILE,
					filemode='w')

--------

When I run the program, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./script.py", line 225, in <module>
     sys.exit( main() )
   File "./script.py", line 119, in main
     filemode='w')
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 1237, in basicConfig
     hdlr = FileHandler(filename, mode)
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 773, in __init__
     StreamHandler.__init__(self, stream)
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 721, in __init__
     Handler.__init__(self)
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 582, in __init__
     _acquireLock()
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 189, in _acquireLock
     _lock = threading.RLock()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RLock'

Ideas?

Thanks!
