A number of points:
1. exc_text is not just an implementation detail - it's in the docs. Thus,
removing the cache altogether would be backwards-incompatible.
2. The exc_text value is the only simple way of propagating the exception
information across the wire, which is a common use case (e.g SocketHandler).
3. This is not a "behavior" issue, as the behaviour is by design and documented.
4. What's wrong with the following approach?
class NoStackTraceFormatter(logging.Formatter):
def formatException(self, exc_info): # Don't emit the stack trace
return '\n'.join(traceback.format_exception_only(exc_info[0],
exc_info[1])) # type and value only
def format(self, record):
saved_exc_text = record.exc_text # optional
record.exc_text = None
result = super(NoStackTraceFormatter, self).format(record)
record.exc_text = saved_exc_text # or None, if you want
return result
You can either save and restore the previous exc_text value, or set it to None
after the parent class operation - this will cause it to be always recomputed
by the next handler. This way, a handler which needs abbreviated information
always gets it, but other handlers append the full stack trace.
I'm closing this as I believe my suggestion shows a way of subclassing and
overriding which works. You can re-open if you think I've missed something.
