In fileConfig(), only the logging module is checked for handler names. klass = eval(klass, vars(logging)) ... args = eval(args, vars(logging)) This prevents the user from using handlers which are defined in logging.handlers. A quick and dirty fix that seems to work for me is klass = eval(klass, dict(vars(logging).items() + vars(logging.handlers).items())) ... args = eval(args, dict(vars(logging).items() + vars(logging.handlers).items())) This is almost certainly not the best way to do it, but it Works For Me (TM)

Logged In: YES user_id=1081664 Ah ok, that works much better. I was mislead by the examples given in the docs: http://www.python.org/doc/lib/logging-config-fileformat.html [handler_hand06] class=NTEventLogHandler level=CRITICAL formatter=form06 args=('Python Application', '', 'Application') and similarly for hand07, 08 and 09, the fully qualified name is not used. Presumably the docs are in error here. If this is the case, should I file a new bug, or can it be handled from here?

Logged In: YES user_id=308438 Yes, it was a bug in the docs. Now fixed in CVS. Thanks.
