redirect stderr to syslog?

We are using the syslog module for logging, and would like to redirect stderr to our log. Is there a practical way to do it? I realize the logging module supports this and has a syslog writer, so that's a fallback. But we were hoping to use the syslog module for performance. -- Russell -- ht

I am trying to write a decorator that times an instance method and writes the results to a class member variable. For example: def timeMethod(func): def wrapper(self, *args, **keyArgs): t1 = time.time() res = func(self, *args, **keyArgs) duration = time.time() - t1

Can't seem to build python against custom tcl/tk

I'm trying to build a non-framework python on MacOS X 10.5 using a custom tcl/tk that lives in an arbitrary directory. (For complicated reasons we don't want the system tcl/tk). It is easy to build an X11 tcl/tk this way (and we are content with X11) so I did that. Unfortunately I can't seem to
