Runserver currently outputs each request to the commandline. Any reason that couldn't be handled by a logger? I seem to recall people complaining that they couldn't redirect that output elsewhere before when logging discussions came up.

Yeah, this was an issue we ran into. People will deploy your code in all sorts of situations and you can't make any assumptions about what would constitute an appropriate handler. They have to define those themselves. Even management commands can be called from scripts and may need output to be logged someplace other than sdterr. > 4.

Well, a logger can have multiple handlers. I would think we would want to leave the handlers defined in settings.py in tact and add the manage.py handler (most likely output to stderr - but could be different - see my comment above). -- ---- \X/ /-\ `/ |_ /-\ |\| Waylan Limberg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
