logging.handlers.SMTPHandler question

[akonsu]

hello,

SMTPHAndler seems to email every single record separately. is there a
way to collect all log output and then send it in a single email
message? or do i have to do it manually?

thanks

You can use a buffering SMTP handler, see:

I haven't tested this code - I got it from this page (Polish
language):

http://python.pinger.pl/m/552751/bufferingsmtphandler

Looking back at it, it looks as if it's adapted from some test code I
wrote back in 2002, see here:

You want the SummarisingHandler from this package:
