[New-bugs-announce] [issue33508] [logging] allow %p code to put PID into log filename

[Steve R. Hastings]

New submission from Steve R. Hastings <steveha at users.sourceforge.net>:

Python logging is not multi-process safe.  When a Python program has multiple processes, one way to log safely would be to put the process ID number into the filename of the log file, giving each process its own log file.

It would be convenient if a %p format code would be expanded to the process ID number when the logging system opens the log file.
