[Python] Is it possible to dynamically specify the log file name in Python?

I am attempting to move some of my programs from Perl to Python. Our Perl logging configuration has the following line:

# perl_log.conf

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename= sub { return get_perl_log() }


In each of our Perl scripts, we have this code block:

# my_perl_script.pl

my $perl_log = "/path/to/log.log";

# Instantiating logger object
sub get_perl_log{
return $perl_log;
}


I was wondering if it's possible to do this in Python. Currently, we have to create .conf files for each Python script, even though the fileHandlers are the same:

# my_python_script_log.conf

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=INFO
handlers=consoleHandler

[logger_my_python_script]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleHandler,fileHandler
qualname=my_python_script
propagate=0

[handler_consoleHandler]
class=StreamHandler
level=INFO
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=(sys.stdout,)

[handler_fileHandler]
class=logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=('/path/to/log/my_python_script.log','midnight',)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s



I'd like to make this Python logging configuration accept a dynamic file name like:

args=(get_python_log())


Is this possible?
