  Fix doubled 'the'.
  Markup fixes to use :exc:, :option: in a few places.
    (Glitch: unittest.main's -c ends up a link to the Python
    interpreter's -c option.  Should we skip using :option: for that
    switch, or disable the auto-linking somehow?)

Using make
----------
Luckily, a Makefile has been prepared so that on Unix, provided you have
installed Python and Subversion, you can just run ::
make html
to check out the necessary toolset in the `tools/` subdirectory and build the
HTML output files. To view the generated HTML, point your favorite browser at
the top-level index `build/html/index.html` after running "make".
Available make targets are:
* "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing.
* "htmlhelp", which builds HTML files and a HTML Help project file usable to
convert them into a single Compiled HTML (.chm) file -- these are popular
under Microsoft Windows, but very handy on every platform.
To create the CHM file, you need to run the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop

------------
You'll need to install the Sphinx package, either by checking it out via ::
svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Sphinx-0.6.5/sphinx tools/sphinx
or by installing it from PyPI.
Then, you need to install Docutils, either by checking it out via ::
svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/docutils-0.6/docutils tools/docutils
or by installing it from http://docutils.sf.net/.
You also need Jinja2, either by checking it out via ::
svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Jinja-2.3.1/jinja2 tools/jinja2
or by installing it from PyPI.
You can optionally also install Pygments, either as a checkout via ::
svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/external/Pygments-1.3.1/pygments tools/pygments
or from PyPI at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments.
Then, make an output directory, e.g. under `build/`, and run ::
python tools/sphinx-build.py -b<builder> . build/<outputdirectory>
where `<builder>` is one of html, text, latex, or htmlhelp (for explanations see
the make targets above).

Configuring Logging
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Programmers can configure logging either by creating loggers, handlers, and
formatters explicitly in a main module with the configuration methods listed
above (using Python code), or by creating a logging config file. The following
code is an example of configuring a very simple logger, a console handler, and a
simple formatter in a Python module::
Programmers can configure logging in three ways:
1. Creating loggers, handlers, and formatters explicitly using Python
code that calls the configuration methods listed above.
2. Creating a logging config file and reading it using the :func:`fileConfig`
function.
3. Creating a dictionary of configuration information and passing it
to the :func:`dictConfig` function.
The following example configures a very simple logger, a console
handler, and a simple formatter using Python code::

# create logger
logger = logging.getLogger("simple_example")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create console handler and set level to debug
ch = logging.StreamHandler()

.. versionchanged:: 2.7
In Python 2.7, a new means of configuring logging has been introduced, using
dictionaries to hold configuration information. This provides a superset of the
functionality of the config-file-based approach outlined above, and is the
recommended configuration method for new applications and deployments. Because
a Python dictionary is used to hold configuration information, and since you
can populate that dictionary using different means, you have more options for
configuration. For example, you can use a configuration file in JSON format,
or, if you have access to YAML processing functionality, a file in YAML
format, to populate the configuration dictionary. Or, of course, you can
construct the dictionary in Python code, receive it in pickled form over a
socket, or use whatever approach makes sense for your application.
Here's an example of the same configuration as above, in YAML format for
the new dictionary-based approach::

format: format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s

Describing a logging configuration requires listing the various

may create a handler named "console" and then say that the logger
named "startup" will send its messages to the "console" handler.
These objects aren't limited to those provided by the :mod:`logging`
module because you might write your own formatter or handler class.
The parameters to these classes may also need to include external
objects such as ``sys.stderr``. The syntax for describing these
objects and connections is defined in :ref:`logging-config-dict-connections`
below.
Dictionary Schema Details
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
The dictionary passed to :func:`dictConfig` must contain the following
keys:
* `version` - to be set to an integer value representing the schema
version. The only valid value at present is 1, but having this key
allows the schema to evolve while still preserving backwards
compatibility.
All other keys are optional, but if present they will be interpreted
as described below. In all cases below where a 'configuring dict' is
mentioned, it will be checked for the special ``'()'`` key to see if a
custom instantiation is required. If so, the mechanism described in
:ref:`logging-config-dict-userdef` below is used to create an instance;
otherwise, the context is used to determine what to instantiate.
* `formatters` - the corresponding value will be a dict in which each
key is a formatter id and each value is a dict describing how to
configure the corresponding Formatter instance.
The configuring dict is searched for keys ``format`` and ``datefmt``
(with defaults of ``None``) and these are used to construct a
:class:`logging.Formatter` instance.
* `filters` - the corresponding value will be a dict in which each key
is a filter id and each value is a dict describing how to configure
the corresponding Filter instance.
The configuring dict is searched for the key ``name`` (defaulting to the
empty string) and this is used to construct a :class:`logging.Filter`
instance.
* `handlers` - the corresponding value will be a dict in which each
key is a handler id and each value is a dict describing how to
configure the corresponding Handler instance.
The configuring dict is searched for the following keys:
* ``class`` (mandatory). This is the fully qualified name of the
handler class.
* ``level`` (optional). The level of the handler.
* ``formatter`` (optional). The id of the formatter for this
handler.
* ``filters`` (optional). A list of ids of the filters for this
handler.
All *other* keys are passed through as keyword arguments to the
handler's constructor. For example, given the snippet::
handlers:
console:
class : logging.StreamHandler
formatter: brief
level : INFO
filters: [allow_foo]
stream : ext://sys.stdout
file:
class : logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler
formatter: precise
filename: logconfig.log
maxBytes: 1024
backupCount: 3
the handler with id ``console`` is instantiated as a
:class:`logging.StreamHandler`, using ``sys.stdout`` as the underlying
stream. The handler with id ``file`` is instantiated as a
:class:`logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler` with the keyword arguments
``filename='logconfig.log', maxBytes=1024, backupCount=3``.
* `loggers` - the corresponding value will be a dict in which each key
is a logger name and each value is a dict describing how to
configure the corresponding Logger instance.
The configuring dict is searched for the following keys:
* ``level`` (optional). The level of the logger.
* ``propagate`` (optional). The propagation setting of the logger.
* ``filters`` (optional). A list of ids of the filters for this
logger.
* ``handlers`` (optional). A list of ids of the handlers for this
logger.
The specified loggers will be configured according to the level,
propagation, filters and handlers specified.
* `root` - this will be the configuration for the root logger.
Processing of the configuration will be as for any logger, except
that the ``propagate`` setting will not be applicable.
* `incremental` - whether the configuration is to be interpreted as
incremental to the existing configuration. This value defaults to
``False``, which means that the specified configuration replaces the
existing configuration with the same semantics as used by the
existing :func:`fileConfig` API.
If the specified value is ``True``, the configuration is processed
as described in the section on :ref:`logging-config-dict-incremental`.
* `disable_existing_loggers` - whether any existing loggers are to be
disabled. This setting mirrors the parameter of the same name in
:func:`fileConfig`. If absent, this parameter defaults to ``True``.
This value is ignored if `incremental` is ``True``.
.. _logging-config-dict-incremental:
Incremental Configuration
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
It is difficult to provide complete flexibility for incremental
configuration. For example, because objects such as filters
and formatters are anonymous, once a configuration is set up, it is
not possible to refer to such anonymous objects when augmenting a
configuration.
Furthermore, there is not a compelling case for arbitrarily altering
the object graph of loggers, handlers, filters, formatters at
run-time, once a configuration is set up; the verbosity of loggers and
handlers can be controlled just by setting levels (and, in the case of
loggers, propagation flags). Changing the object graph arbitrarily in
a safe way is problematic in a multi-threaded environment; while not
impossible, the benefits are not worth the complexity it adds to the
implementation.
Thus, when the ``incremental`` key of a configuration dict is present
and is ``True``, the system will completely ignore any ``formatters`` and
``filters`` entries, and process only the ``level``
settings in the ``handlers`` entries, and the ``level`` and
``propagate`` settings in the ``loggers`` and ``root`` entries.
Using a value in the configuration dict lets configurations to be sent
over the wire as pickled dicts to a socket listener. Thus, the logging
verbosity of a long-running application can be altered over time with
no need to stop and restart the application.
.. _logging-config-dict-connections:
Object connections
""""""""""""""""""
The schema describes a set of logging objects - loggers,
handlers, formatters, filters - which are connected to each other in
an object graph. Thus, the schema needs to represent connections
between the objects. For example, say that, once configured, a
particular logger has attached to it a particular handler. For the
purposes of this discussion, we can say that the logger represents the
source, and the handler the destination, of a connection between the
two. Of course in the configured objects this is represented by the
logger holding a reference to the handler. In the configuration dict,
this is done by giving each destination object an id which identifies
it unambiguously, and then using the id in the source object's
configuration to indicate that a connection exists between the source
and the destination object with that id.
So, for example, consider the following YAML snippet::
formatters:
brief:
# configuration for formatter with id 'brief' goes here
precise:
# configuration for formatter with id 'precise' goes here
handlers:
h1: #This is an id
# configuration of handler with id 'h1' goes here
formatter: brief
h2: #This is another id
# configuration of handler with id 'h2' goes here
formatter: precise
loggers:
foo.bar.baz:
# other configuration for logger 'foo.bar.baz'
handlers: [h1, h2]
(Note: YAML used here because it's a little more readable than the
equivalent Python source form for the dictionary.)
The ids for loggers are the logger names which would be used
programmatically to obtain a reference to those loggers, e.g.
``foo.bar.baz``. The ids for Formatters and Filters can be any string
value (such as ``brief``, ``precise`` above) and they are transient,
in that they are only meaningful for processing the configuration
dictionary and used to determine connections between objects, and are
not persisted anywhere when the configuration call is complete.
The above snippet indicates that logger named ``foo.bar.baz`` should
have two handlers attached to it, which are described by the handler
ids ``h1`` and ``h2``. The formatter for ``h1`` is that described by id
``brief``, and the formatter for ``h2`` is that described by id
``precise``.
.. _logging-config-dict-userdef:
User-defined objects
""""""""""""""""""""
The schema supports user-defined objects for handlers, filters and
formatters. (Loggers do not need to have different types for
different instances, so there is no support in this configuration
schema for user-defined logger classes.)
Objects to be configured are described by dictionaries
which detail their configuration. In some places, the logging system
will be able to infer from the context how an object is to be
instantiated, but when a user-defined object is to be instantiated,
the system will not know how to do this. In order to provide complete
flexibility for user-defined object instantiation, the user needs
to provide a 'factory' - a callable which is called with a
configuration dictionary and which returns the instantiated object.
This is signalled by an absolute import path to the factory being
made available under the special key ``'()'``. Here's a concrete
example::
formatters:
brief:
format: '%(message)s'
default:
format: '%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(name)-15s %(message)s'
datefmt: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
custom:
(): my.package.customFormatterFactory
bar: baz
spam: 99.9
answer: 42
The above YAML snippet defines three formatters. The first, with id
``brief``, is a standard :class:`logging.Formatter` instance with the
specified format string. The second, with id ``default``, has a
longer format and also defines the time format explicitly, and will
result in a :class:`logging.Formatter` initialized with those two format
strings. Shown in Python source form, the ``brief`` and ``default``
formatters have configuration sub-dictionaries::
{
'format' : '%(message)s'
}
and::
{
'format' : '%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(name)-15s %(message)s',
'datefmt' : '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
}
respectively, and as these dictionaries do not contain the special key
``'()'``, the instantiation is inferred from the context: as a result,
standard :class:`logging.Formatter` instances are created. The
configuration sub-dictionary for the third formatter, with id
``custom``, is::
{
'()' : 'my.package.customFormatterFactory',
'bar' : 'baz',
'spam' : 99.9,
'answer' : 42
}
and this contains the special key ``'()'``, which means that
user-defined instantiation is wanted. In this case, the specified
factory callable will be used. If it is an actual callable it will be
used directly - otherwise, if you specify a string (as in the example)
the actual callable will be located using normal import mechanisms.
The callable will be called with the **remaining** items in the
configuration sub-dictionary as keyword arguments. In the above
example, the formatter with id ``custom`` will be assumed to be
returned by the call::
my.package.customFormatterFactory(bar='baz', spam=99.9, answer=42)
The key ``'()'`` has been used as the special key because it is not a
valid keyword parameter name, and so will not clash with the names of
the keyword arguments used in the call. The ``'()'`` also serves as a
mnemonic that the corresponding value is a callable.
.. _logging-config-dict-externalobj:
Access to external objects
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
There are times where a configuration needs to refer to objects
external to the configuration, for example ``sys.stderr``. If the
configuration dict is constructed using Python code, this is
straightforward, but a problem arises when the configuration is
provided via a text file (e.g. JSON, YAML). In a text file, there is
no standard way to distinguish ``sys.stderr`` from the literal string
``'sys.stderr'``. To facilitate this distinction, the configuration
system looks for certain special prefixes in string values and
treat them specially. For example, if the literal string
``'ext://sys.stderr'`` is provided as a value in the configuration,
then the ``ext://`` will be stripped off and the remainder of the
value processed using normal import mechanisms.
The handling of such prefixes is done in a way analogous to protocol
handling: there is a generic mechanism to look for prefixes which
match the regular expression ``^(?P<prefix>[a-z]+)://(?P<suffix>.*)$``
whereby, if the ``prefix`` is recognised, the ``suffix`` is processed
in a prefix-dependent manner and the result of the processing replaces
the string value. If the prefix is not recognised, then the string
value will be left as-is.
.. _logging-config-dict-internalobj:
Access to internal objects
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
As well as external objects, there is sometimes also a need to refer
to objects in the configuration. This will be done implicitly by the
configuration system for things that it knows about. For example, the
string value ``'DEBUG'`` for a ``level`` in a logger or handler will
automatically be converted to the value ``logging.DEBUG``, and the
``handlers``, ``filters`` and ``formatter`` entries will take an
object id and resolve to the appropriate destination object.
However, a more generic mechanism is needed for user-defined
objects which are not known to the :mod:`logging` module. For
example, consider :class:`logging.handlers.MemoryHandler`, which takes
a ``target`` argument which is another handler to delegate to. Since
the system already knows about this class, then in the configuration,
the given ``target`` just needs to be the object id of the relevant
target handler, and the system will resolve to the handler from the
id. If, however, a user defines a ``my.package.MyHandler`` which has
an ``alternate`` handler, the configuration system would not know that
the ``alternate`` referred to a handler. To cater for this, a generic
resolution system allows the user to specify::
handlers:
file:
# configuration of file handler goes here
custom:
(): my.package.MyHandler
alternate: cfg://handlers.file
The literal string ``'cfg://handlers.file'`` will be resolved in an
analogous way to strings with the ``ext://`` prefix, but looking
in the configuration itself rather than the import namespace. The
mechanism allows access by dot or by index, in a similar way to
that provided by ``str.format``. Thus, given the following snippet::
handlers:
email:
class: logging.handlers.SMTPHandler
mailhost: localhost
fromaddr: my_app@domain.tld
toaddrs:
- support_team@domain.tld
- dev_team@domain.tld
subject: Houston, we have a problem.
in the configuration, the string ``'cfg://handlers'`` would resolve to
the dict with key ``handlers``, the string ``'cfg://handlers.email``
would resolve to the dict with key ``email`` in the ``handlers`` dict,
and so on. The string ``'cfg://handlers.email.toaddrs[1]`` would
resolve to ``'dev_team.domain.tld'`` and the string
``'cfg://handlers.email.toaddrs[0]'`` would resolve to the value
``'support_team@domain.tld'``. The ``subject`` value could be accessed
using either ``'cfg://handlers.email.subject'`` or, equivalently,
``'cfg://handlers.email[subject]'``. The latter form only needs to be
used if the key contains spaces or non-alphanumeric characters. If an
index value consists only of decimal digits, access will be attempted
using the corresponding integer value, falling back to the string
value if needed.
Given a string ``cfg://handlers.myhandler.mykey.123``, this will
resolve to ``config_dict['handlers']['myhandler']['mykey']['123']``.
If the string is specified as ``cfg://handlers.myhandler.mykey[123]``,
the system will attempt to retrieve the value from
``config_dict['handlers']['myhandler']['mykey'][123]``, and fall back
to ``config_dict['handlers']['myhandler']['mykey']['123']`` if that
fails.
