Type error: not enough arguments for format string

[sync...@gmail.com]

I'm just trying to follow along with the logging tutorial documentation and I am getting this error:

import logging


logging.basicConfig(format= '%(asctime)s % (message)s', datefmt='%m%d%Y %I:%M:%S %p')
logging.warning('is when this event was logged')

Error:

C:\Users\Malcy\PycharmProjects\Udemy\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/Malcy/PycharmProjects/logging/logger.py

My first bet at the culprit is the space between the % and (message)s, they should be together like you have them for asctime.

Probably this: --------------------------^^

The space after the "%" in "% (message)s" is preventing correct recognision of
the format.

Yes. It makes sense to copy-paste examples instead of typing them in. I
guess the original is from
https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html#changing-the-format-of-displayed-messages
and it doesn't have the extra space which is a problem here.
