New submission from Martijn Pieters <m...@python.org>:
The documentation doesn't make it explicit what happens if you use a bounded queue together with logging.handlers.QueueHandler. If the queue is bounded in size and attempts are made to add logrecords faster than a queue listener removes them, then the resulting `queue.Full` exception is passed to `handler.handleError()` and that usually means the record is simply dropped (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Handler.handleError). That may be the desired behaviour, but making it explicit is always better. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 347018 nosy: docs@python, mjpieters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make it explicit what happens when using a bounded queue with QueueHandler versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37470> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
