An alternative solution if you want to use logging configuration function:

import pytz
import logging
import logging.config
from datetime import datetime

tz = pytz.timezone('Asia/Tokyo')

class TokyoFormatter(logging.Formatter):
    converter = lambda *args: datetime.now(tz).timetuple()

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'beijing': {
            '()': TokyoFormatter,
            'format': '%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s',
            'datefmt': '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'beijing'
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'foo': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'INFO'
        },
    }
}

logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)
logger = logging.getLogger('foo')
logger.info('Just a test.')
