Answer 1

datetime.date.today() does not give you the current hour and minute.

import logging, datetime
a=datetime.datetime.now()
b='D:\\'+a.strftime("%y_%B_%a_%H%M")+'s_python.log'
print(b)
logging.basicConfig(filename=b,level=logging.DEBUG,format="%(levelname)s %(asctime)s-%(message)s")
logging.debug("Hi Sudhirrrrrrrrr")
