> the prose clearly say that the default is sys.stderr, however the code doesn't show that
Which code are you looking at? Here is the entirety of StreamHandler.__init__:
def __init__(self, stream=None):
"""
Initialize the handler.
If stream is not specified, sys.stderr is used.
"""
Handler.__init__(self)
if stream is None:
stream = sys.stderr
self.stream = stream
> We users Do. Not. Care. about how wonderfully clever your implementation is, we care about how it actually works. Whatever Rube-Goldbergian implementation details there are behind the scenes are of no interest to us.
I'm not sure your tone is particularly constructive here. I don't regard the code you say you've read, reproduced above, is particularly Rube-Goldbergian, or even Heath-Robinsonish. And are you presuming to speak for all Python users here?
> Fine, lets try this another way - does anyone else have opinions on this?
As far as I can remember, you're the first person to bring this up since logging was added to Python in 2003. In all that time, no-one appears to have been confused by that prose, which has been there since pretty much the beginning, though there was a spelling change and a logging documentation reorganisation around 9 years ago. |
