Phil Connell added the comment: I've updated the type to enhancement (it seems like a grey area to me - it's a behavioural fix for a niche use case).
I suggested a patch rather than simply subclassing RotatingFileHandler since: - The subclass would just have a copy of RotatingFileHandler's doRollover method with a one-line change. - The proposed fix is functionally equivalent to the current code for all currently working uses. Thanks for the offer of having an extension linked from your blog. I don't think it's appropriate for this case (since it's just a slightly modified copy of the stdlib code - I'll probably just keep the patch along with a few other compatibility hacks we have) although I may have something for you in future (we do have a subclass that compresses old logs). ---------- type: behavior -> enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16449> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
