But the nice thing now is that all the forked processes log also on stdout/stderr, so if I launch the parent in the shell I get DEBUG -> csim_flow.worker[18447]: Moving the log file /user/sim/tests/batch_pdump_records/running/2012_12_11_13_4_10.log to /user/sim/tests/batch_pdump_records/processed/2012_12_11_13_4_10.log DEBUG -> csim_flow.area_manager[19410]: No new logs found in /user/sim/tests/batch_pdump_records where in [] I have the PID of the process. In this suggested way I should use some other files as standard output and error, but for that I already have the logging module that logs in the right place.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
