-.. admonition:: Custom handlers and circular imports
-
- If your ``settings.py`` specifies a custom handler class and the file
- defining that class also imports ``settings.py`` a circular import will
- occur.
-
- For example, if ``settings.py`` contains the following config for
- :setting:`LOGGING`::
-
- LOGGING = {
- 'version': 1,
- 'handlers': {
- 'custom_handler': {
- 'level': 'INFO',
- 'class': 'myproject.logconfig.MyHandler',
- }
- }
- }
-
- and ``myproject/logconfig.py`` has the following line before the
- ``MyHandler`` definition::
-
- from django.conf import settings
-
- then the ``dictconfig`` module will raise an exception like the following::
-
- ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'custom_handler':
- Unable to configure handler 'custom_handler':
- 'module' object has no attribute 'logconfig'
