R. David Murray added the comment: Assuming that it is OK for this to be in 2.7 beta2 (it smells almost like a feature, but I'm certainly willing to let it pass as a bugfix myself), the 2.7 doc change in the commit contains a typo (it says versionchanged 3.2 instead of versionchanged 2.7). -

Eric Smith added the comment: I have the same reasoning as David, although I was thinking about python vs. pythonw. But it's not a big deal. I think you should check it in as-is, and we can worry about modifying it later, if need be. -- ___ Python

[issue8451] syslog.syslog('msg') logs message with ident "python".

R. David Murray added the comment: One argument in favor of letting openlog pick it (assuming it uses argv[0]) is that for a while at least we will have many systems running both python2 and python3, and it might be useful to have that distinction show up in the log if the fallback is used.

Sean Reifschneider added the comment: Ok, so I left the argument style in the docs as it was. *** NOTE ***: Sean: Change this for the 3 trunk commit. Setting the "python" string is outside of the argv function because we want to use "python" on any of the many places where the return is done.

Eric Smith added the comment: A couple of points: Didn't we decide that instead of using: openlog(ident[, logopt[, facility]]) we'd use: openlog(ident, logopt=None, facility=None) (or whatever the defaults are)? I can't find a reference, but the argument was that it's how Python signatures

Sean Reifschneider added the comment: Antoine: I believe I have everything you mentioned addressed with the new patch. That was an awesome review, thank you so much. The only things I didn't do were parts of the last two items you bring up: If PyTuple_New(0) fails, bail out. If syslog_openlo

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Some notes about the patch: - NEWS blurbs generally appear antichronologically, that is newest first :-) - you don't have to mention that "The 3.2 changes mentioned above are included in 2.7" - the part of the PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords string after the semi-

New submission from Sean Reifschneider : As discussed in this thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-March/098500.html The syslog module is using the C argv[0] as the program name, not the python sys.argv[0]. So, in most cases this means that unless you explicitly set a ide
