[New-bugs-announce] [issue24645] logging.handlers.QueueHandler should not lock when handling a record

[Justin Bronder]

New submission from Justin Bronder:

The Queue backing the QueueHandler is already sufficiently locking for thread-safety.

This isn't a huge issue, but the QueueHandler is a very nice built-in which could be used to work around a deadlock I've encountered several times.  In brief, functions which can cause other threads to log being called from either __repr__() or __str__().
