New submission from Justin Bronder: The Queue backing the QueueHandler is already sufficiently locking for thread-safety.

In brief, functions which can cause other threads to log being called from either __repr__() or __str__(). ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: queue-handler-no-lock.patch keywords: patch messages: 246812 nosy: jsbronder priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: logging.handlers.QueueHandler should not lock when handling a record versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39935/queue-handler-no-lock.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24645> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
