Vinay Sajip added the comment: The python-daemon documentation states, about files_preserve:
"Elements of the list are file descriptors (as returned by a file object's `fileno()` method) or Python `file` objects. Each specifies a file that is not to be closed during daemon start." Notice that file objects are just a convenience - filenos() can be passed. The following, slightly modified script works as expected: import logging import logging.handlers import daemon logger = logging.getLogger('twitterCounter') handler = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler(address='/dev/log') logger.addHandler(handler) logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.info("Hello, ") with daemon.DaemonContext(files_preserve=[handler.socket.fileno()]): logger.info("world!") Output in syslog after running the above: May 16 10:58:42 eta-oneiric64 Hello, May 16 10:58:42 eta-oneiric64 world! ---------- status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17981> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
