Sorry if I was unclear.  This isn't my own subclass of 
TimedRotatingFileHandler or anything, this is the bog-standard 
logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler I'm talking about.

So all clues about what's in the class, and how it comes up with the 
filenames used, is available at

http://docs.python.org/library/logging.handlers.html#timedrotatingfilehandler 


:)

The specific Python version involved here is Python 2.6.6 (r266:84297, Aug 
24 2010, 18:46:32), to the extent that that matters...
