Python Logging and printf()

[Ganesh Pal]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the comments , Iam planning to use logging handlers (
StreamHandler and FileHandler) to achieve my requirement .

Any quick reference example to this will be great , Iam on Python 2.7 , Iam
referring the python docs for mow.

Regards,
Ganesh
