[issue1711603] syslog syscall support for SysLogLogger

Max Arnold added the comment: Sorry, I've read your first reply too fast and incorrectly interpreted it as recommendation to use stream handler with /dev/log. Anyway, thank you for clarification. -- ___ Python tracker

Vinay Sajip added the comment: Why would you want to use a single handler instance against multiple loggers? It's safe to do so, but you could get duplicated messages appearing. I presume you have reviewed the documentation and are aware that loggers are organised in a hierarchy and that in the

Vinay Sajip added the comment: It's only a bug when it doesn't work according to design. The present design seems adequate in that it allows syslogging via UDP or domain sockets. No one else has asked for the functionality of using system calls. BTW I note that Metalog's home page says it's a mod
