information.
.. rubric:: Log level
Setting a specific logfile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When instantiating your ``Status`` object, the path to a log file can be
specified. If this is done, then log messages will be sent to that file and not
to an ``.i3pystatus-<pid-of-thread>`` file in your home directory. This is
useful in that it helps keep your home directory from becoming cluttered with
files containing errors.
.. code-block:: python
from i3pystatus import Status
status = Status(logfile='/home/username/var/i3pystatus.log')
Log level
~~~~~~~~~
Every module has a ``log_level`` option which sets the *minimum*
severity required for an event to be logged.
