Python日志记录创建额外的日志文件

Question

I am trying to use logging to create log files for a program. I'm doing something like this:

if not os.path.exists(r'.\logs'):
        os.mkdir(r'.\logs')

logging.basicConfig(filename = rf'.\logs\log_{time.ctime().replace(":", "-").replace(" ", "_")}.log',
                    format = '%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
                    level = logging.DEBUG)

def foo():
        # do stuff ...
        logging.debug('Done some stuff')

        # do extra stuff ...
        logging.debug('Did extra stuff')

        # some parallel map that does NOT use logging in the mapping function
        logging.debug('Done mapping')


if __name__ == '__main__':
        foo()

All goes well ant the log is created with the correct information in it:

logs
    log_Wed_Feb_14_09-23-32_2018.log

Only that at the end, for some reason, it also creates 2 additional log files and leaves them empty:

logs
    log_Wed_Feb_14_09-23-32_2018.log
    log_Wed_Feb_14_09-23-35_2018.log
    log_Wed_Feb_14_09-23-39_2018.log

The timestamps are only a few seconds apart, but all of the logging still only goes in the first log file as it should.

Why is it doing this? Also is there a way to stop it from giving me extra empty files aside from just deleting any empty logs at the end of the program?

Solved. Kind of.

The behaviour using basic config kept happening so I tried to make a custom logger class:

class Logger:
        """Class used to encapsulate logging logic."""
        __slots__ = ['dir',
                     'level',
                     'formatter',
                     'handler',
                     'logger']

        def __init__(self,
                     name: str = '',
                     logdir: str = r'.\logs',
                     lvl: int = logging.INFO,
                     fmt: str = '%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s %(message)s',
                     hdl: str = rf'.\logs\log_{time.ctime().replace(":", "-").replace(" ", "_")}.log'):

                print('construct')

                if not os.path.exists(logdir):
                        os.mkdir(logdir)

                self.dir = logdir

                self.level = lvl

                self.formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt = fmt)

                self.handler = logging.FileHandler(filename = hdl)
                self.handler.setFormatter(self.formatter)

                self.logger = logging.getLogger(name)
                self.logger.setLevel(self.level)
                self.logger.addHandler(self.handler)

        def log(self, msg: str):
                """Logs the given message to the set level of the logger."""
                self.logger.log(self.level, msg)

        def cleanup(self):
                """Iterates trough the root level of the log folder, removing all log files that have a size of 0."""
                for log_file in (rf'{self.dir}\{log}' for log in next(os.walk(self.dir))[2]
                                 if log.endswith('.log') and os.path.getsize(rf'{self.dir}\{log}') is 0):
                                os.remove(log_file)

        def shutdown(self):
                """Prepares and executes the shutdown and cleanul actions."""
                logging.shutdown()
                self.handler.close()
                self.cleanup()

And tried to pass it as a parameter to functions like this:

def foo(logger = Logger('foo_logger')):

But this approach made it construct a whole new logger each time I called the log method which let again to multiple files. By using one instance of Logger and defaulting the arguments to None I solved the problem of multiple files for this case.

However the initial Basic Config situation remains a mistery.
