Hi,

Below is the python code that I have. I want to redirect the output to my C drive..myapp.log.

I am editing and creating scripts in IDLE and running it as a python shell or module.

Can you help?

import logging

def main():
logging.basicConfig(Filename='c://myapp.log', level=logging.ERROR)
logging.debug('started debug')
logging.info('info printing')
logging.warning('test warning')
logging.debug('debug again')
logging.error('Error')

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Python is case-sensitive. Try:

logging.basicConfig(filename='c://myapp.log', level=logging.ERROR)

Or use the raw literal form r"c:\tryfile.log". I know several
people that prefer to use forward slashes as it works in both
Windows and *nix.
