Er, no, it was stating that lots of people have successfully used logging on Windows with utf-8, as a way of justifying my opinion that there's no deficiency here that needs addressing. > Sure "stream" is on there, but then you need to know about streams and make > the association with logging which I apparently don't.

But responding to issues takes time (notice how many people will have been notified about this issue from the "nosy list" above; each would have to spend at least some time looking at it), so raising issues should be done only after exhausting other resources to make sure that the problem isn't in one's own level of knowledge or understanding, but an actual problem with the software. This is why I earlier suggested Stack Overflow and python-list as useful resources for improving one's knowledge and understanding. > Lets put this another way - is there a reason NOT to have Unicode logging as > the default? I have no idea what you mean by this. As my example illustrated, it's quite easy to log Unicode in log files. A simple Internet search for "basicConfig encoding" yields for me as the second result this Stack Overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21402530 for which the accepted answer is a slight variation on what I suggested earlier. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
