New submission from Yury Selivanov: A bunch of logging methods accept optional parameter exc_info, that is supposed to be either 'True' or a tuple of three elements (type, exc, tb).
If, however, someone passes an actual exception instance, Logger._log function will interpret it as True and get the current exception from sys.exc_info, ignoring the passed exception completely. Attached is a patch that fixes this: if exc_info is an instance of BaseException, Logger._log creates the tuple out of it automatically. ---------- files: logging_01.patch keywords: patch messages: 210428 nosy: vinay.sajip, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: logging exc_info parameter should accept exception instances type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33950/logging_01.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20537> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
