If I'm running a process in a loop that runs for a long time, I occasionally would like to look at a log to see how it's going.
I know about the logging module, and may yet decide to use that. Still, I'm troubled by how fsync() doesn't seem to work as advertised: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html "If you’re starting with a Python file object f, first do f.flush(), and then do os.fsync(f.fileno())" Has anyone else experienced and overcome this issue? What I've seen is that flush() alone produces a complete log when the loop finishes. When I used fsync(), I lost all of the write entries except the first, along with odd error trap and the last entry. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
