Hi everybody,

I'm using the python logging module with the "native" configuration file support (config.fileconfig) as describe in the documentation here :

http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html (see the logging.conf file)

I was wondering if it's possible to supply a tabulated data format in the configuration file?

The sample configuration file is the following:
[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s

I though that using the \t in the format would be enough but it doesn't.
format=%(asctime)s\t%(name)s\t%(levelname)s\t%(message)s\t

If I do so it print \t in the result. I tried a couple of thing without success. I suppose it's really easy to do but I don't find it!

How can I do that?
