What is the most pythonic way of logging for multiple modules and multiple handlers with specified encoding?

Question

I\'m looking for concrete advice about how the multiple module and multiple handler logging should be done. I have added my simplified code here, but I don\'t want to bias t

Answer 1

To kinda wrap this up, here is what I did; I've put the following two lines in every module/file:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

This sets up the logging, but doesn't add any handlers. I then add handlers to the root logger in the main file I'm running the imported modules therefore pass their records to the root logger and everything gets saved and displayed. I do it like CaptainMurphy suggested, but with logger = logging.getLogger('') to work with the root logger

To address encoding - I had problems saving non-ascii strings to file. So I just added FileHandler to the root logger, where encoding can be specified. I couldn't do it with logging.basicConfig.

Thank you again @CaptainMurphy - I'm sorry I can't upvote you with my low reputation, but I've checkmarked the answer.
