I know, it is very late ,but I just got same error, and while searching that are I got your problem. I am able to resolve my problem, and I thought it might be helpful for some other user also :

you have created a logger object and trying to access my_logger.config.fileConfig('log.conf') which is wrong you should use logger.config.fileConfig('log.conf') as I mention below and need to import logging.config as well :

#!/usr/bin/python

import logging
import logging.handlers
import logging.config

logging.config.fileConfig('log.config',disable_existing_loggers=0)
my_logger = logging.getLogger('you logger name as you mention in your conf file')

my_logger.debug('debug message')
my_logger.info('info message')
my_logger.warn('warn message')
my_logger.error('error message')
my_logger.critical('critical message')

after doing these changes, AttributeError: 'Logger' object has no attribute 'config' error must be gone.
