[New-bugs-announce] [issue7874] logging.basicConfig should raise warning/exception on second call

[Tobias]

New submission from Tobias <tac at gmx.li>:

logging.basicConfig should raise warning/eception on second call. Why?

logging.basicConfig(filename="/tmp/works.log")
logging.basicConfig(filename="/tmp/worksnot.log")

what do you think does happen? Right - logging goes to "/tmp/worksnot.log". But does not behave that way. The secound call does nothing. Simply bad coding style, an if without an else.

kind regards
Tobias
