Vinay Sajip <vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk> added the comment: This is happening because if you pass an object instead of a string as the first argument in a logging call, it's treated as a message object whose __str__() will be called to get the actual message when it's needed, as documented here:
http://docs.python.org/howto/logging.html#arbitrary-object-messages If, instead, you do it like this: # coding: utf-8 import logging logging.basicConfig() try: raise Exception(u'ą') except Exception: logging.getLogger('general').exception(u'An error occurred') you get ERROR:general:An error occurred Traceback (most recent call last): File "bug_12339.py", line 6, in <module> raise Exception(u'ą') Exception: \u0105 ---------- resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12339> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
