Question

I am trying to use TimedRotatingFileHandler to keep daily logs in separate log files. The rotation works perfectly as intended, but what I don\'t like how it does is the nam

As far as I know there is no way to directly achieve this.

One solution you could try is to override the default behavior.

• Create your own TimedRotatingFileHandler class and override the doRollover() function.
• Check the source in your python installation /Lib/logging/handlers.py

Something like this:

class MyTimedRotatingFileHandler(TimedRotatingFileHandler):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        TimedRotatingFileHandler.__init__(self, **kwargs)

    def doRollover(self):
        # Do your stuff, rename the file as you want
