exceptions from logging on Windows

[Oliver Eichler]

Hi,

I experience several exceptions from python's logging system when using the
rollover feature on Windows.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Python24\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 62, in emit
if self.shouldRollover(record):
File "c:\Python24\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 132, in shouldRollover
self.stream.seek(0, 2) #due to non-posix-compliant Windows feature
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Googeling revealed that this has been experienced by others, too, however no
workaround or solution has been provided. Is this the latest status on this
topic? Do I miss something?

Thanks for help,

Oliver

I ended up monkey-patching doRollover to do a number of retries before
giving up. (In our case the failures is due to our log browser
happening to read the latest changes when logging wants to rollover)

(Actually, I implemented a simple QueueHandler and do all file
operations from a different logging thread)
