Zope is using Python's "logging" module and wants to play well with log rotating (start a new logfile, do something with the old log file (compress, rename, remove)). It does this by registering a signal handler which closes its logfiles when the corresponding signal is received. Maybe, you can do something like this. Signal handling under Windows is limited, but maybe you find a usable signal under Windows (Zope is using "SIGUSR1"). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
