[Python-Dev] new module proposal: logfile (original) (raw)

Attached is a module that implements a self-rotating log file object. You simply write to it perpetually, and if it grows over a specified size it is automatically truncated, and a certain number of archived copies are kept as well.

The logging module also supports this.

It also has an object that allows redirecting your stdio to a log file. Useful for daemon processes.

I'd be more impressed if it was integrated with the loggingmodule.
