I can't understand what the problem with SocketHandler/DatagramHandler is. As they use pickle, they should surely be able to send records with Unicode strings in them, no? OTOH, why is SMTPHandler not in your list? > I'd like to fix this by giving these handlers an > optional (encoding=None) parameter in their __init__, and then using this to > encode on output. For syslog, I don't think that's appropriate. I presume this is meant to follow RFC 5424? If so, it SHOULD send the data in UTF-8, in which case it MUST include a BOM also. A.8 then says that if you are not certain that it is UTF-8 (which you wouldn't be if the application passes a byte string), you MAY omit the BOM.
