Want datetime in logfile name
When I create my logfile, I want the name to contain the datetime.
Now, in python you can get the current datetime as:
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 3, 21, 35, 9, 559000)
The str version is
>>> str(datetime.now())
'2012-02-03 21:35:22.247000'
Not a very nice str to append to the logfile name! I would like my logfile to be something like:
mylogfile_21_35_03_02_2012.log
Is there something python can to do to make this easy to do? note, I am creating the log file as
fh = logging.FileHandler("mylogfile" + datetimecomp + ".log")
Any tips?
You need datetime.strftime() , this allows you to format the timestamp using all of the directives of C's strftime() . In your specific case:
>>> datetime.now().strftime('mylogfile_%H_%M_%d_%m_%Y.log')
'mylogfile_08_48_04_02_2012.log'
You could also use a TimedRotatingFileHandler that will handle the date and the rollover every day (or whenever you want) for you.
from logging.handlers import TimedRotatingFileHandler
fh = TimedRotatingFileHandler('mylogfile', when='midnight')
By default the format will be depending on the rollover interval:
The system will save old log files by appending extensions to the filename. The extensions are date-and-time based, using the strftime format %Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S or a leading portion thereof, depending on the rollover interval.
But you can modify that as showed here, by doing something like:
from logging.handlers import TimedRotatingFileHandler
fh = TimedRotatingFileHandler('mylogfile', when='midnight')
fh.suffix = '%Y_%m_%d.log'
Yes. Have a look at the datetime API, in particular strftime .
from datetime import datetime
print datetime.now().strftime("%d_%m_%Y")
