Mihai, It does make sense to document this limit for people writing subclasses, or using a Turkic codeset. I'm not sure that logging is the right place to document it, and I don't think changing the base classes is a good idea.
TimedRotatingFileHandler and HTTPHandler restrict their input to a tiny subset of ASCII; anything that would be handled differently after these changes will already raise a ValueError unless you subclass. Even SysLogHandler.emit doesn't actually print the string; it is only used as a lookup key for a dictionary whose keys are all lower-case ASCII. In theory, you could monkey-patch that dictionary to add additional values, but then you might as well subclass to do the right thing with your new keys. (It *might* make sense to change the base function and dictionary to accept unicode, including undotted-i synonyms.) -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
