Python3 logging: Pass LogRecord to function

Question

With the logging module of python3 I am logging to a file like this:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename='log')
logging.info('123')

Now everytime a logging event occurs, i want a function to be called as well with the LogRecord as an argument.

How do I achieve this?

You could create a logging.Filter object that reviews the LogRecord and decides whether or not it should be logged. In this code you could also perform other logic: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#filter-objects.
