Hey list, Another day, another Python experiment. I'm wondering what methods I'd have to implement in a custom subclass of logger.Handler.
Currently, the recurring jobs I have written log their events to a file each time they run. That's fine, but it doesn't let me keep easily-sorted/searched records. Even if I use a size-based log file handler, it'll get hard to search. I'm pondering logging to a database as well, so that the files will always have the most recent few runs, but the database will have everything. That means subclassing logger.Handler. I found the docs for this, but is emit() the only function I need to implement? There are things about i/o locks, formatting, and so on as well. How much do I need to do, and how much can I leave up to the super class? I'll have to call super(MyLogHandler, self).__init__() I know, but what else do I have to worry about? To be clear, I'm not asking about logging to a database, only what to do to make a Handler subclass capable of logging through whatever mechanisms I want.
