[New-bugs-announce] [issue42119] Error when debugging logging.FileHandler subclass __init__ method

[Françoise CONIL]

New submission from Françoise CONIL <fcodvpt at gmail.com>:

In pdb, when I hit "a" to see __init__ parameters of a logging.FileHandler subclass, I get an error because __repr__ needs a logging level. The level has been removed from the parameters by configure_handler() when it instanciates the handler. The level is set after the handler instanciation.

I do not know if it can be changed or if I missed something.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    handler = self.configure_handler(handlers[name])
