Robert Cronk <cron...@gmail.com> added the comment: Thanks Vinay. I ran the newest revised script with virus protection turned off and got the same failures as before (see console output below).
If you comment out the os.system() calls, everything works just fine. Uncomment them and logging breaks. The os.system() calls shouldn't break logging, especially since they are accessing a completely unrelated file - not the log file. If you could go back to my original script that fails for you, you should be able to chase down why these unrelated os.system() calls are breaking logging. Feel free to add the joins and replace the tabs if you want to, but don't put locks around the os.system() calls because that just makes the problem go away and leaves us with nothing to do. Does that make sense? Regardless of what the os.system() calls are doing, they shouldn't break logging in any way whatsoever. So if my original script breaks for you, please use that broken state to debug the problem and find out why an os.system() call is breaking logging. ----------------------------------- C:\logthred>revised.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python26\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 72, in emit self.doRollover() File "C:\Python26\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 129, in doRollover os.rename(self.baseFilename, dfn) WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process 2009-06-09 09:54:47,828 DEBUG 3704 This is log message 0 from thread- 00 and I think this should be a little longer, so I'll add some more data here because p erhaps the size of the individual log message is a factor.
