Category: Modules Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: chads (cjschr) >Assigned to: Vinay Sajip (vsajip) Summary: Logging Module - followfile patch Initial Comment: Pertaining to the FileHandler and the file being written to: It's possible that the file being written to will be rolled-over by an external application such as newsyslog. By default, FileHandler tracks the file descriptor, not the file. If the original file is renamed, the file descriptor is still updated; however, it's probably desired that continued updates to the original file take place instead. This patch adds an attribute to the FileHandler class constructor (and basicConfig kw as well). If the attribute evaluates to True, the filename, not the descriptor is tracked. Basically, the code compares the file status from a previous emit call to the current call before the base class emit is called. If a difference in st_ino or st_dev is found, the current stream is flush/closed and a new one, based on baseFilename, is created, file status is updated, and then the base class emit is called. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-11-18 19:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO Assigning to Vinay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1598415&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
