New submission from Mike Lundy: The changed merged from http://bugs.python.org/issue16168 causes a regression in SysLogHandler behavior. The socktype of /dev/log is dependent on syslog configuration, and the fallback behavior (trying SOCK_DGRAM and then SOCK_STREAM if the former failed) was very useful.
A better fix for this would preserve the fallback behavior in cases where the caller has not specifically requested a socktype. I've attached a patch with one such approach. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: 0001-Restore-SysLogHandler-fallback-for-AF_UNIX-sockets.patch keywords: patch messages: 187347 nosy: Mike.Lundy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: backwards-incompatible change in SysLogHandler with unix domain sockets type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29937/0001-Restore-SysLogHandler-fallback-for-AF_UNIX-sockets.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17795> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
