Andrea Griffini added the comment: I thougt it was a bug because when calling close() handlers are removed from some data structure (the global dictionary and the global list) but they're left inside the loggers they're attached to. Now I understand that this is a responsibility of who attached the handler; probably my patch would break or just behave differently with code that already managed to remove logging handlers from loggers explicitly or that relied on the fact that even a "closed" handler can still be notified.
Having the logging module to work correctly in IDLE and other environments that keep a running instance of the interpreter provided that shutdown is called would have been just a lucky nice side effect of "fixing" handler.close (of course those IDEs will still have potential problems with any module that keeps an internal state). __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2216> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
