I think I'm missing something big and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I have a logging.conf file that I am trying my main (say, xyz.py) file to read. But I am getting this weird error. I have the traceback below followed by the configuration file - logging.conf and then the relevant part in xyz.py.
File "xyz.py", line 28, in <module> log = logging.config.fileConfig('/Users/Username/Desktop/logging.conf') File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 78, in fileConfig handlers = _install_handlers(cp, formatters) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 156, in _install_handlers h = klass(*args) TypeError: __init__() takes at most 7 arguments (23 given) The configuration file - full path = /Users/Username/Desktop/logging.config (I followed the instruction from http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/logging-config-fileformat.html)

import logging import logging.config log = logging.config.fileConfig('/Users/Username/Desktop/logging.config') I looked at the Python is logging/config.py module but couldn't follow why it was raising this. It's a pretty big file.
EDIT:
@VineySajip's answer removed the error above but I am working on this new one now.
