Issue 3726: Allow ',' delimiters in logging.config.fileConfig() (original) (raw)

Currently, logging.config.fileConfig() inconsistently handles lines like:

[handlers] keys = spam, eggs

[formatters] keys = foo, bar

It does, however, correctly handle the ', ' delimiter in the [loggers] section. This is because the various install*() functions in logging.config aren't consistent about whether (and when) or not they strip whitespace when generating key names.

Though the stdlib documentation only includes examples in the [handlers] and [formatters] section with ',' delimiters, it seems reasonable to expect that logging.config.fileConfig() should handle ', '. The attached test demonstrates the failure and suggests a solution.

Thanks! whitespace
