settings.py

1. Add “yutils” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # all other installed apps
       'yutils',
   )

2. Add logger handler:

   LOGGING = {
       'version': 1,
       'disable_existing_loggers': False,
       'handlers': {
           # all other handlers
           'log_file_yutils': {
               'level': 'DEBUG',
               'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
               'filename': os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.dirname( __file__ ), '..'), 'logs/yutils.log'),
               'maxBytes': '16777216', # 16megabytes
            },
       },
       'loggers': {
           # all other loggers
           'yutils': {
               'handlers': ['log_file_yutils'],
               'propagate': True,
               'level': 'DEBUG',
           }
       }
   }

3. Configure YUTILS’s settings:

   YUTILS = {
       'mandrill_api_key': '{{ API_KEY }}'
   }

Logs

Create a ‘logs’ folder in your project’s root folder (if you don’t have one already). Your project folder should look something like this:

myproject/
    __init__.py
    settings.py
    urls.py
    wsgi.py
logs/
manage.py
