time_format = None

The timestamp format assumed for the log files. A subclass can override this for files that have a different timestamp format. This can be:

  • A string in strptime() format.

  • A list of strptime() strings.

  • A dictionary with each item’s value being a strptime() string. This allows the item keys to provide some form of documentation.

  • A None value when there is no timestamp info in the log file
