python exception message capturing
Question: 
    import ftplib
    import urllib2
    import os
    import logging
    logger = logging.getLogger('ftpuploader')
    hdlr = logging.FileHandler('ftplog.log')
    formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')
    hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(hdlr)
    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
    FTPADDR = "some ftp address"
    
    def upload_to_ftp(con, filepath):
        try:
            f = open(filepath,'rb')                # file to send
            con.storbinary('STOR '+ filepath, f)         # Send the file
            f.close()                                # Close file and FTP
            logger.info('File successfully uploaded to '+ FTPADDR)
        except, e:
            logger.error('Failed to upload to ftp: '+ str(e))
    

This doesn't seem to work, I get syntax error, what is the proper way of doing
this for logging all kind of exceptions to a file


Answer: You have to define which type of exception you want to catch. So write `except
Exception, e:` instead of `except, e:` for a general exception (that will be
logged anyway).

Other possibility is to write your whole try/except code this way:

    
    
    try:
        with open(filepath,'rb') as f:
            con.storbinary('STOR '+ filepath, f)
        logger.info('File successfully uploaded to '+ FTPADDR)
    except Exception, e:
        logger.error('Failed to upload to ftp: '+ str(e))
