# Name: example-TimedRotatingFileHandler.py
# Purpose: Write log using TimedRotatingFileHandler
# Author: Adrian Jones
# Created: 2012-05-25
#
# TimedRotatingFileHandler: from handler.py source:
# Current 'when' events supported:
#   S - Seconds
#   M - Minutes
#   H - Hours
#   D - Days
#   midnight - roll over at midnight
#   W{0-6} - roll over on a certain day; 0 - Monday
#
# Case of the 'when' specifier is not important; lower or upper case
# will work.
#
# Interval is in seconds
# backupCount in number of old log files to keep
#
