The behavior of formatters and handlers in logging.conf files is inconsistent.

With handlers, it is possible to add custom (keyword and non-keyword) arguments, but it is not possible for formatters (only class, format, datefmt, style).

I'll try to submit a pull request as soon as possible.

Adding Vinay for his thoughts on this. Also Python 3.4 and 3.5 are in security fixes only mode and can be removed.

Thanks

There aren't any changes planned to the fileConfig code, other than bug fixes. If you need improved functionality, you can use dictConfig, which already supports improved configuration features when compared to fileConfig.

The fileConfig API was present when the logging package was first added to Python, and dictConfig is a later enhancement (PEP 391).
