config_classes

The 'secret sauce' of the logging module.

These classes serve as configuration containers for various logging objects, like formatters, handlers, and loggers. Each class inherits from a "base" configuration, which has a .get_configdict() method. So for each formatter, handler, or logger, you can use .get_configdict() to return a dict representation of the class's configuration, which is compatible with the logging dictConfig.

These dicts must be added to the configuration using the .assemble_configdict() method in logging_utils(). The classes exist to aid in creating formatters, handlers, and loggers for a logging configuration by presenting all available options.
