576.29.10.1 Configuration functions
58</H3>
59
60<P>
61The following functions allow the logging module to be
62configured. Before they can be used, you must import
63<tt class="module">logging.config</tt>. Their use is optional -- you can configure
64the logging module entirely by making calls to the main API (defined
65in <tt class="module">logging</tt> itself) and defining handlers which are declared
66either in <tt class="module">logging</tt> or <tt class="module">logging.handlers</tt>.

72<dd>
73Reads the logging configuration from a ConfigParser-format file named
74<var>fname</var>. This function can be called several times from an application,
75allowing an end user the ability to select from various pre-canned
76configurations (if the developer provides a mechanism to present the
77choices and load the chosen configuration). Defaults to be passed to
78ConfigParser can be specified in the <var>defaults</var> argument.

85<dd>
86Starts up a socket server on the specified port, and listens for new
87configurations. If no port is specified, the module's default
88<tt class="constant">DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT</tt> is used. Logging configurations
89will be sent as a file suitable for processing by <tt class="function">fileConfig()</tt>.
90Returns a <tt class="class">Thread</tt> instance on which you can call <tt class="method">start()</tt>
91to start the server, and which you can <tt class="method">join()</tt> when appropriate.
92To stop the server, call <tt class="function">stopListening()</tt>. To send a configuration
93to the socket, read in the configuration file and send it to the socket
94as a string of bytes preceded by a four-byte length packed in binary using
95struct.<code>pack("&gt;L", n)</code>.

101 <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
102<dd>
103Stops the listening server which was created with a call to
104<tt class="function">listen()</tt>. This is typically called before calling <tt class="method">join()</tt>
105on the return value from <tt class="function">listen()</tt>.
