logging not writing to file when called from function in Pyscripter

Question

Currently if I run the following code from the python command line it writes to the file specified by filename as expected.

import logging
def test():
    logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s %(message)s',
                        datefmt='%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p',
                        filename=r'C:\Users\theo\Documents\myLog.txt')
    logging.warning('Example logged message.')
test()

But when I copy the code into one of my functions and run the function with Pyscripter, it does not seem to write the file. How can I get logging to appear in Pyscripter?

Answer 1

Pyscripter has an 'External Run' option ( Run > External Run (Alt + F9)), choosing this made the logging work.

Answer 2

Switch the Python Engine to Internal. Go to run-->Pyhton Engine-->Internal
