Cool. Okay, quick question for you...

I'm trying to set up some (normal python) logging so that run of the mill 
messages are send to a logfile while critical errors are sent via email to me. I 
got to:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('X2Y')
hdlr = logging.FileHandler(logfile)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(process)d %(levelname)s %(message)s')
hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(hdlr)
if len(sys.argv)==2 and sys.argv[1]=='debug':
     logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
else:
     logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
hdlr = logging.SMTPHandler(*etc*)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s 
%(process)d\n\n%(message)s\n\n%(pathname)s line %(lineno)d.')
hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(hdlr)

...but then couldn't figure out how to say that the SMTPHandler should only deal 
with messages that are critical.

Any ideas?

Bringing this back on topic, I'd also be very interested in doing the same thing 
for Zope instances...

cheers,

Chris
