Class Method	fromFullPath	Construct a log file from a full file path.
Method	__setstate__	Undocumented
Method	flush	Flush the file.

def __init__(self, name, directory, rotateLength=1000000, defaultMode=None, maxRotatedFiles=None): (source)

Create a log file rotating on length.

Parameters	name	file name. (type: `str`)
	directory	path of the log file. (type: `str`)
	rotateLength	size of the log file where it rotates. Default to 1M. (type: `int`)
	defaultMode	mode used to create the file. (type: `int`)
	maxRotatedFiles	if not None, max number of log files the class creates. Warning: it removes all log files above this number. (type: `int`)

def _openFile(self): (source)

Open the log file.

def shouldRotate(self): (source)

Rotate when the log file size is larger than rotateLength.

def getLog(self, identifier): (source)

Given an integer, return a LogReader for an old log file.

def write(self, data): (source)

Write some data to the file.

def rotate(self): (source)

Rotate the file and create a new one.

If it's not possible to open new logfile, this will fail silently, and continue logging to old logfile.
