Vinay Sajip added the comment: I don't understand what you mean. For example, defining
def my_handler(*args, **kwargs): terminator = kwargs.pop('terminator', '!\n') h = logging.StreamHandler(*args, **kwargs) h.terminator = terminator return h you can use with a definition of the handler such as 'console': { '()': 'ext://__main__.my_handler', 'stream': 'ext://sys.stdout', 'terminator': '!\n', } or similar. And you can also do something this with your own subclass, instead of a function as per my example. ISTM that using subclasses is the right way to approach this problem; otherwise why would one *ever* use subclasses? I use them when the base class doesn't do exactly what I want, but offers extension points to change its behaviour via subclassing. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16391> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
