[New-bugs-announce] [issue30522] Allow replacing a StreamHandler's stream

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Right now it is probably possible using something like:

    handler.acquire()
    try:
        handler.flush()
        handler.stream = new_stream
    finally:
        handler.release()

but it would be nice to have an officially-supported method to do that.

Context: if I reconfigure sys.stderr, I'd like to update all handlers that have a reference to the old sys.stderr.
