Another approach might be to use a JSON or YAML config file which gets loaded into a dictionary which you can then view/manipulate before it's passed to the logger.config.

with open (LOG_CONFIG, 'rt') as f:
   config=yaml.safe_load(f)
   config['handlers']['error_file_handler']['filename']='foo'
logging.config.dictConfig(config)
