Unable to use logging.config.fileConfig

[Michael Nelson]

According to the docs [1] Django's LOGGING setting is an (unspecified) data-structure - "The contents of this data structure will be passed as the argument to the configuration method described in LOGGING_CONFIG."

It defaults to a dict because the default method for LOGGING_CONFIG is django.utils.log.dictConfig. But if you want to use LOGGING_CONFIG = 'logging.config.fileConfig' you need to specify a string path in the LOGGING setting, which doesn't match the schema.

That said, I don't understand how django itself does this, as it passes DEFAULT_CONFIG (a dict) to the specified config method before using the custom LOGGING_CONFIG [2]

As a work-around, I'm calling the logging configuration in my settings.py after configglue has parsed the settings.
