[Python-Dev] Stdlib Logging questions (PEP 337 SoC)

Mon Jun 5 04:34:27 CEST 2006

 Jim> (1) Should we ask Vinay Sajip to add a convenience function (for
 Jim> getting the stdlib logger) to the logging module itself?
-1.
 Jim> (2) Should NAME be module.__name__?
Seems reasonable.
 Jim> (3) Should she put out a message when a (now logged) module is
 Jim> loaded? If so, at what level?
-1. I don't think it buys you anything. If you need it, the -v command
line flag should be sufficient.
 Jim> (4) Should she add (other) debugging information that is not
 Jim> already present?
I'd say "no". Behavior changes should be kept to a bare minimum.
 Jim> (5) Should she clean up other issues when touching a module?
I suggest they be submitted as separate patches so as not to confuse
distinct issues (say, if one part needs to be retracted).
