How do I change the way that the RotatingFileHandler names files in Python?

I inherit and override RotatingFileHandler of python logging handler.

RotatingFileHandler has self.baseFilename value, the handler will use self.baseFilename to create logFile.(when it creates file first or when rollover happens)

self.shouldRollover() method, It checks if the handler should rollover logfile or not.

If this method return 1, it means rollover should happen or return 0.

By overriding them, I define when this handler makes rollover and which name should be used for new log file by rollover.

-----------------------------------------Edit-----------------------------------------

I post the example code.

from logging import handlers

class DailyRotatingFileHandler(handlers.RotatingFileHandler):

    def __init__(self, alias, basedir, mode='a', maxBytes=0, backupCount=0, encoding=None, delay=0):
        """
        @summary: 
        Set self.baseFilename to date string of today.
        The handler create logFile named self.baseFilename
        """
        self.basedir_ = basedir
        self.alias_ = alias

        self.baseFilename = self.getBaseFilename()

        handlers.RotatingFileHandler.__init__(self, self.baseFilename, mode, maxBytes, backupCount, encoding, delay)

    def getBaseFilename(self):
        """
        @summary: Return logFile name string formatted to "today.log.alias"
        """
        self.today_ = datetime.date.today()
        basename_ = self.today_.strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + ".log" + '.' + self.alias_
        return os.path.join(self.basedir_, basename_)

    def shouldRollover(self, record):
        """
        @summary: 
        Rollover happen 
        1. When the logFile size is get over maxBytes.
        2. When date is changed.

        @see: BaseRotatingHandler.emit
        """

        if self.stream is None:                
            self.stream = self._open()

        if self.maxBytes > 0 :                  
            msg = "%s\n" % self.format(record)
            self.stream.seek(0, 2)  
            if self.stream.tell() + len(msg) >= self.maxBytes:
                return 1

        if self.today_ != datetime.date.today():
            self.baseFilename = self.getBaseFilename()
            return 1

        return 0

This DailyRotatingFileHandler will create logfile like

2016-10-05.log.alias
2016-10-05.log.alias.1
2016-10-05.log.alias.2
2016-10-06.log.alias
2016-10-06.log.alias.1
2016-10-07.log.alias.1
