asctime gives None in logging

[Tico06]

Hi There,
I am using logging from standard-lib and trying to format the output with the following:

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s:%(levelname)-8s:%(message)s',
                    level=logging.DEBUG)

It results with the following:

mpremote rtc --set + mount . + run testing_logging.py
Local directory . is mounted at /remote
None:DEBUG   :My message.

How could I get the timestamp heading log line ?
Didn't find any working sample with this.

Thanks and regards,
Eric.

There is a time module in standard-lib and the logging module needs it.
So first importing that module should solve your problem.
I had this problem once too and started to code time.strftime() only to note later that it was already there.

time
This library extends the built-in MicroPython time module to include time.strftime().

Hi rkompass,

Thanks for your quick answer.
I imported this time extension in logging.py and it works like a charm. Is it possible to import outside ? I don't think.

Shouldn't be considered as a bug ? At least, it should be documented.

Thanks and reg,

Eric.

Feel free to raise an issue (or documentation PR?). It should be documented, I agree.
And so it may save others some trouble.

FYI - to provide more information on this. If you are running into this issue you need to download from here: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/python-stdlib/time/time.py the time.py and add it into the folder with your logging.py file.
