I have a function

def abc(self):
try:
  handler = logging.FileHandler(logpath)
  handler.setFormatter(formatter)
  logger.addHandler(handler)
 except:
    logger.info("abc")

def xyz(self):
 ..some code..

I am not able to access the logger in except block for func abc.Is there any way such that i can log the error occuring in function abc or
Is it possible to throw the exception to xyz and log it in xyz
