Making Python loggers output all messages to stdout in addition to log file

You could create two handlers for file and stdout and then create one logger with handlers argument to basicConfig. It could be useful if you have the same log_level and format output for both handlers:

import logging
import sys

file_handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='tmp.log')
stdout_handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
handlers = [file_handler, stdout_handler]

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG, 
    format='[%(asctime)s] {%(filename)s:%(lineno)d} %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
    handlers=handlers
)

logger = logging.getLogger('LOGGER_NAME')

All logging output is handled by the handlers; just add a logging.StreamHandler() to the root logger.

Here's an example configuring a stream handler (using stdout instead of the default stderr) and adding it to the root logger:

import logging
import sys

root = logging.getLogger()
root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
root.addHandler(handler)

The simplest way to log to stdout:

import logging
import sys
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.DEBUG)

It's possible using multiple handlers.

import logging
import auxiliary_module

# create logger with 'spam_application'
log = logging.getLogger('spam_application')
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# create formatter and add it to the handlers
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')

# create file handler which logs even debug messages
fh = logging.FileHandler('spam.log')
fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
fh.setFormatter(formatter)
log.addHandler(fh)

# create console handler with a higher log level
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
log.addHandler(ch)

log.info('creating an instance of auxiliary_module.Auxiliary')
a = auxiliary_module.Auxiliary()
log.info('created an instance of auxiliary_module.Auxiliary')

log.info('calling auxiliary_module.Auxiliary.do_something')
a.do_something()
log.info('finished auxiliary_module.Auxiliary.do_something')

log.info('calling auxiliary_module.some_function()')
auxiliary_module.some_function()
log.info('done with auxiliary_module.some_function()')

# remember to close the handlers
for handler in log.handlers:
    handler.close()
    log.removeFilter(handler)
