New submission from Kevin Hollingshead <kh14...@gmail.com>:
The filenames generated by logging.RotatingFileHandler breaks the ability to associate a program (e.g. notepad++, sublime text, etc.) with the log files using Windows or OSX file associations because the extension is overridden by the added suffix. For example, if I specify the filename as "test.log" for a TimeBasedRotatingFileHandler with a suffix of "%Y%m%d", rolled over files are named test.log.YYYYMMDD. There is no way to associate a program with this type of file extension. A good non-breaking fix would be to add a parameter "extension" to RotatingFileHandler, and if specified would be applied to all filenames. Thus if I specify filename="test" and "extension="log" for my handler it would give "test.log" for the initial file and "test.YYYYMMDD.log" for rollover files. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: logger_bug.py messages: 387793 nosy: kh14821 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: RotatingFileHandler breaks file type associations type: behavior Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49840/logger_bug.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43344> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
