twisted.python.logfile.DailyLogFile : API documentation

Method	shouldRotate	Rotate when the date has changed since last write
Method	toDate	Convert a unixtime to (year, month, day) localtime tuple, or return the current (year, month, day) localtime tuple.
Method	suffix	Return the suffix given a (year, month, day) tuple or unixtime
Method	getLog	Given a unix time, return a LogReader for an old log file.
Method	write	Write some data to the log file
Method	rotate	Rotate the file and create a new one.
Method	__getstate__	Undocumented
Method	_openFile	Open the log file.

Inherited from BaseLogFile:

Method	__init__	Create a log file.
Class Method	fromFullPath	Construct a log file from a full file path.
Method	__setstate__	Undocumented
Method	flush	Flush the file.
Method	close	Close the file.
Method	reopen	Reopen the log file. This is mainly useful if you use an external log rotation tool, which moves under your feet.
Method	getCurrentLog	Return a LogReader for the current log file.

def _openFile(self): (source)

Open the log file.

We don't open files in binary mode since:

an encoding would have to be chosen and that would have to be configurable
Twisted doesn't actually support logging non-ASCII messages (see https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/989)
logging plain ASCII messages is fine with any non-binary mode.

def shouldRotate(self): (source)

Rotate when the date has changed since last write

def toDate(self, *args): (source)

Convert a unixtime to (year, month, day) localtime tuple, or return the current (year, month, day) localtime tuple.

This function primarily exists so you may overload it with gmtime, or some cruft to make unit testing possible.

def suffix(self, tupledate): (source)

Return the suffix given a (year, month, day) tuple or unixtime

def getLog(self, identifier): (source)

Given a unix time, return a LogReader for an old log file.

def write(self, data): (source)
