Flask logging - Cannot get it to write to a file

Question

Ok, here\'s the code where I setup everything:

if __name__ == \'__main__\':
    app.debug = False

    applogger = app.logger

    file_handler = FileHandler         


        

Answer 1

Ok, my failure stemmed from two misconceptions:

1) Flask will apparently ignore all your custom logging unless it is running in production mode

2) debug=False is not enough to let it run in production mode. You have to wrap the app in any sort of WSGI server to do so

After i started the app from gevent's WSGI server (and moving logging initialization to a more appropriate place) everything seems to work fine
