14.5.5.9 SMTPHandler

The SMTPHandler class, located in the logging.handlers module, supports sending logging messages to an email address via SMTP.

class SMTPHandler(

mailhost, fromaddr, toaddrs, subject)

Returns a new instance of the SMTPHandler class. The instance is initialized with the from and to addresses and subject line of the email. The toaddrs should be a list of strings. To specify a non-standard SMTP port, use the (host, port) tuple format for the mailhost argument. If you use a string, the standard SMTP port is used.

emit(

record)

Formats the record and sends it to the specified addressees.

getSubject(

record)

If you want to specify a subject line which is record-dependent, override this method.
