Re: [ovirt-devel] logging.captureWarnings only in Python 2.7, EL6 broken

From: "Ondřej Svoboda" <osvoboda(a)redhat.com&gt; To: devel(a)ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2014 8:07:09 PM Subject: [ovirt-devel] logging.captureWarnings only in Python 2.7, EL6 broken Hi all, Sandro pointed out that tests are failing on File "../tests/testrunner.py", line 33, in <module> logging.captureWarnings(True) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'captureWarnings' The code, conditionally using the function also in our daemon, has been introduced on http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/34034, adding support for 'warnings' module. I have dug in Python changelogs and found that captureWarnings has, sadly, never been backported to Python 2.6. I have seen another project [1] employ the function only optionally. But for us, this probably makes the support for 'warnings' module in logging also optional in effect. Saggi, I wanted to notice you about this. Do you think 'warnings' could be made to work in a different way, or are they only possible on platforms having Python 2.7+?
