Hi there,

I am trying to setup logging in my setting.py.

All seemed to be working with below:

handler =
logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler(LOG_FILENAME, backupCount=1)

until I decided to make it:

handler = logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler(LOG_FILENAME,
backupCount=1, maxBytes = 1024)

Now I got this in my apache2/error_log:

[Wed Apr 14 18:22:04 2010] [error] [client ::1] Traceback (most recent
call last):

[Wed Apr 14 18:22:04 2010] [error] [client ::1] TypeError: __init__()
got an unexpected keyword argument 'maxBytes'

Testing the logging via ipython and all works fine.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Alan

That handler doesn't have maxBytes keyword argument
