New submission from Paul Cyr <pyt...@paulcyr.ca>: >From the docs:
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter "class logging.Formatter(fmt=None, datefmt=None, style='%') ... If no datefmt is specified, the ISO8601 date format is used." However, the output from the formatter when no datefmt is specified is not an ISO8601 date. It is also a datetime format, not a date format. Example output: 2018-05-01 19:04:31,505 Not being an ISO member, I don't have access to the official source for the specification but, trusting other sources, it appears that the output is missing the required 'T' delimiter between the date and time, and it is also missing the timezone. A compliant output would be: 2018-05-01T19:04:31,505Z The current output appears to actually be closer to RFC 3339, as that standards allows for a space instead of the 'T' delimiter, but RFC 3339 still requires a timezone. Either the documentation should be updated to state that the format used is an RFC 3339 datetime but without a timezone, or the format should comply with the standard specified in the documentation. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 316012 nosy: paulc priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: logging.Formatter does not default to ISO8601 date format type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33400> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
