New submission from Kai Müller <kai.jmuel...@gmail.com>: According to the docstring of logging.handlers.QueueHandler "The base implementation formats the record to merge the message and arguments, and removes unpickleable items from the record in-place." But, if a just a log message is used w/o any arguments, the arguments are still set to None, which IMHO unexpected. Especially, according to the typeshed project, the "args" is ALWAYS either a dict or a tuple. But in this case, they are set to None which surprised my a lot.
Would it be possible to improve the docstring to state, that args, exc_info, exc_text are set to None and that msg is overwritten. If you miss this tiny but very important detail, additional handlers can act very wrong. In addition, it seems to be that the type information needs to be improved in typeshed or are there any other plans on your side? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 396243 nosy: docs@python, kai.jmueller priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: logging.handlers.QueueHandler acts unexpected type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44473> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
