Python Logging Calling Module From Multiple Places

I would like to set up a logging hierarchy for my project using python's logging module and the dot '.' name structure described here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.htm

Solution 1:

The standard approach of having a module-wide logger instantiated via logging.getLogger('mymodule') is not tailored for your intended behaviour. What you should do instead is to let the callers pass the logger as an argument to the functions in your module

# mymodule.py
def foo(plogger, a, b):
    logger=plogger.getChild('bar')
    ...
