Option 1

Start here: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#formatter-objects

You'll create your own customized subclass of Formatter that provides it's own unique format method.

Then you must be sure to call setFormatter() in each of your Handlers so that they use your new formatter.

Option 2

Create your own subclass of LogRecord with the additional property.

Subclass Logger and override makeRecord to create your new subclass of LogRecord.

Provide a customized format that uses this new property value.
