Hi all,

I'm planning to make some smallish changes to logging in Python 3.2, please see http://plumberjack.blogspot.com/2010/09/improved-queuehandler-queuelistener.html If you're interested, I'd be grateful for any feedback you can give.

Looks like a good idea to me - I have a (C++) logging system at work that pushes some of the I/O bound tasks out to a separate thread for similar reasons.

To further reduce overhead, would it make sense for the signature of the QueueListener constructor to be (queue, *handlers)? (Providing the ability to add and remove handlers post-construction seems unnecessary, since you can add or remove new listeners to the original queue to get a similar effect without worrying about synchronisation of access to the list of handlers)

Cheers, Nick.
