That looks pretty slick, I am constrained to using something provided by the packaged modules in this scenario. I think I have it pretty close except for the fact that the LogRecordStreamHandler from the cookbook excepts when the sending process ends, aside from the obvious, I am sure there is a more robust performance oriented approach to this. I've yet to work with the SocketServer module so I am lacking any experience. Thanks for the pointer, jlc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
