[issue8219] Facility and priority values/constants not documented for SysLogHandler
New submission from Ville Skyttä ville.sky...@iki.fi: http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/logging.html#logging.handlers.SysLogHandler What to use as the value for facility for SysLogHandler's constructor is not documented. There's a reference to LOG_USER, but it's kind of vague because it doesn't specify what LOG_USER it refers to - there's no mention that SysLogHandler itself has these constants. And the corresponding documented values from the syslog module are not compatible with the ones SysLogHandler works with. Similarly, the values for facility and priority for SysLogHandler.encodePriority() are not documented, it just talks about integers and strings without saying what they are. I suggest documenting all the SysLogHandler.LOG_* constants and the priority and facility mapping strings in SysLogHandler's priority_names and facility_names dicts. -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 101629 nosy: georg.brandl, scop severity: normal status: open title: Facility and priority values/constants not documented for SysLogHandler type: feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8219 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
