I would dig a little deeper to find out what the reason is. After all, on the face of it, there's no obvious reason it should fail. The "permission denied" indicates perhaps that some other process or thread is keeping that file open? I've fixed (AFAICT) both the crash at shutdown and the buggy exception handling, in the Python subversion repository. You can download the latest from here and try it. http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/logging/ Regards, Vinay Sajip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
