6.29.10.1 Configuration functions
The following functions allow the logging module to be configured. Before they can be used, you must import logging.config. Their use is optional -- you can configure the logging module entirely by making calls to the main API (defined in logging itself) and defining handlers which are declared either in logging or logging.handlers.
- Reads the logging configuration from a ConfigParser-format file named fname. This function can be called several times from an application, allowing an end user the ability to select from various pre-canned configurations (if the developer provides a mechanism to present the choices and load the chosen configuration). Defaults to be passed to ConfigParser can be specified in the defaults argument.
- Starts up a socket server on the specified port, and listens for new configurations. If no port is specified, the module's default DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT is used. Logging configurations will be sent as a file suitable for processing by fileConfig(). Returns a Thread instance on which you can call start() to start the server, and which you can join() when appropriate. To stop the server, call stopListening().
- Stops the listening server which was created with a call to listen(). This is typically called before calling join() on the return value from listen().
