logger configuration to log to file and print to stdout

by

Just get a handle to the root logger and add the StreamHandler. The StreamHandler writes to stderr. Not sure if you really need stdout over stderr, but this is what I use when I setup the Python logger and I also add the FileHandler as well. Then all my logs go to both places (which is what it sounds like you want).

import logging
logging.getLogger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())

If you want to output to stdout instead of stderr, you just need to specify it to the StreamHandler constructor.

import sys
# ...
logging.getLogger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout))

You could also add a Formatter to it so all your log lines have a common header.

ie:

import logging
logFormatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s [%(threadName)-12.12s] [%(levelname)-5.5s]  %(message)s")
rootLogger = logging.getLogger()

fileHandler = logging.FileHandler("{0}/{1}.log".format(logPath, fileName))
fileHandler.setFormatter(logFormatter)
rootLogger.addHandler(fileHandler)

consoleHandler = logging.StreamHandler()
consoleHandler.setFormatter(logFormatter)
rootLogger.addHandler(consoleHandler)

Prints to the format of:
