Issue 28890: logging.handlers: Document that QueueListener is a daemon thread (original) (raw)

Hello,

The purpose of the QueueListener is to provide a way to get messages sent by QueueHandlers. I was starting the QueueListener in is own mp.Process and was expecting the start() to hang. As it was not, the process was exiting logging a few messages or not depending on the threads schedule. I had a difficult time debugging it and ended up looking at the source code as the start() method was not stating it was starting a daemon thread.

The documentation now states it, I close the bug. Regards,
