Answer 1

Maximas is right. File path is relative to execution environment. However instead of writing down the absolute path you could try the dynamic path resolution approach:

filename = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'ram.log')
logging.basicConfig(filename=filename, level=logging.DEBUG)

This assumes that ram.log resides in the same directory with the one that contains the above code (that's why __file__ is used for).
