Vinay Sajip <vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk> added the comment: Initial evaluation indicates that ast.literal_eval doesn't cut the mustard: it doesn't do any name lookups, so you can't for example successfully evaluate something like 'handlers.WatchedFileHandler' or even 'FileHandler'.
However, a limited evaluator which goes further than ast.literal_eval will probably work. One such is shown in this Gist: https://gist.github.com/3182304 It supports a reasonable subset of Python expressions and also could be useful in other contexts than logging configuration. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15452> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
