6.29.10.1 Configuration functions

The following functions allow the logging module to be configured. Before they can be used, you must import `logging.config`. Their use is optional -- you can configure the logging module entirely by making calls to the main API (defined in `logging` itself) and defining handlers which are declared either in `logging` or `logging.handlers`.

`fileConfig`( | fname[, defaults])

  Reads the logging configuration from a ConfigParser-format file named fname. This function can be called several times from an application, allowing an end user the ability to select from various pre-canned configurations (if the developer provides a mechanism to present the choices and load the chosen configuration). Defaults to be passed to ConfigParser can be specified in the defaults argument.

`listen`( | [port])

  Starts up a socket server on the specified port, and listens for new configurations. If no port is specified, the module's default `DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT` is used. Logging configurations will be sent as a file suitable for processing by `fileConfig()`. Returns a `Thread` instance on which you can call `start()` to start the server, and which you can `join()` when appropriate. To stop the server, call `stopListening()`.

`stopListening`( | )

  Stops the listening server which was created with a call to `listen()`. This is typically called before calling `join()` on the return value from `listen()`.
