[Python-Dev] Backwards Incompatibility in logging module in 3.4? (original) (raw)

Hi there,

I just started testing a project of mine on Python 3.4.0b1. I ran into a change that broke compatibility with the logging module in 3.3.

The basic test is:

$ py34/bin/python -c 'import logging;

print(logging.getLevelName("debug".upper()))' Level DEBUG

$ py33/bin/python -c 'import logging;

print(logging.getLevelName("debug".upper()))' 10

I quickly stumbled upon this webpage:

Which led me to this ticket regarding the change:

http://bugs.python.org/issue18046

Is this a bug or an intentional break? If it's the latter, shouldn't this at least be mentioned in the "What's new in Python 3.4" document? If it's the former, should I file a bug?

Thanks, Don -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20140612/8887808d/attachment.html>
