Do you mean in its __init__ method? Are you sure an instance of that class  
is actually created?

If you are saying that, later, using self.local.format is different that  
using log_format, that's hard to believe (unless self/local/format are  
insane objects...)

To see what's going on, try using this old-fashioned debug technique: a  
few print statements.
