Hi,

First of all, in the code you provided we can't see where you import a & 
b, and when you call their respective print_log method.
Secondly,Filter("a") would allow only the "a" log events, not forbid 
them. quoting the docs: "if name is specified, it names a logger which, 
together with its children, will have its events allowed through the 
filter."

As for your problem it may come from the fact that you applied the 
filter to the 'main' logger, while you probably want to add the filter 
to the *root* logger. Your current hierarchy is

root
  - main
  - a
  - b

events fired from 'a' will be handled by the root logger, not the main.
root = logging.getLogger()
root.addFilter('main')
root.addFilter('a')
root.addFilter('b')
