Re: [Specto-devel] python logger for specto

[Kiddo <nek...@gm...>]

So far, seems good for me, but I'd like other's input on this too. The only
suggestion I have though is that the log file should be saved in ~/.specto.
The reason I think this is that specto is a user-level application, it is to
be used by multiple users on a single computer (remember our world
domination purposes?). I think (but I may be wrong there, it's just a guess)
that /var/log and such are places for big "daemon" applications such as
apache (that cannot be controled by anyone else than root or its
equivalent?) to store the logs.

In the case of specto, different users may have different problems to
report, and so I think the logs should be kept in their home directory (oh
yeah, please make the permissions the same as watches.list... actually, the
whole ~/.specto folder should be RWX permissions only for the owner,
security-speaking). Because one user might have problems, whereas another
one would not, on the same computer.

Thoughts?
