[issue7077] SysLogHandler can't handle Unicode

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> added the comment:

To do this in a non-arbitrary way, it would make sense for the
SysLogHandler (and perhaps the other socket-based handlers, too) to grow
an optional encoding argument to their constructors, to be used to
encode when converting from unicode to str (str -> bytes for Py3K).

How does that sound?
