I'd like to create a patch for the logging package, but before I do, I need to know whether someone else is working on the package and whether my patch is likely to be accepted. Is there another group I should talk to?
Specifically, I want to change the following: - The logging.config.fileConfig function has bare excepts that hide configuration errors. I'd like to remove the bare excepts and break up fileConfig for clarity. - I'd like to make it possible to configure the format of exception tracebacks. Some logs want compressed tracebacks like Medusa; others want extra information like Zope. - There is no support for external log rotation. There is plenty of support for Python rotating logs directly, but permission settings often make that impossible. Long-running Python processes need to accept a signal which notifies them when an external tool rotates the logs. - The logging documentation is lacking somewhat. For example, it fails to mention that the logging handlers are in the 'handlers' module, which I only learned by searching the source code.
