[New-bugs-announce] [issue9946] lock use in logging

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

>From logging.Logger:

    def removeHandler(self, hdlr):
        """
        Remove the specified handler from this logger.
        """
        if hdlr in self.handlers:
            hdlr.acquire()
            try:
                self.handlers.remove(hdlr)
            finally:
                hdlr.release()

I don't see what the use is for locking the handler.  The only shared resource that is accessed is self.handlers, which is not locked by the handler lock.
