Here is the entirety of StreamHandler.__init__: def __init__(self, stream=None): """ Initialize the handler. If stream is not specified, sys.stderr is used.

I don't regard the code you say you've read, reproduced above, is particularly Rube-Goldbergian, or even Heath-Robinsonish. And are you presuming to speak for all Python users here? > Fine, lets try this another way - does anyone else have opinions on this? As far as I can remember, you're the first person to bring this up since logging was added to Python in 2003. In all that time, no-one appears to have been confused by that prose, which has been there since pretty much the beginning, though there was a spelling change and a logging documentation reorganisation around 9 years ago. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37563> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
