[New-bugs-announce] [issue34334] QueueHandler logs exc_info twice

[Adrian Dries]

New submission from Adrian Dries <adries at gmail.com>:

Since Python 3.7 logging.handlers.QueueHandler logs tracebacks twice::


>>> import logging
>>> from logging.handlers import QueueHandler, QueueListener
>>> from queue import Queue
>>> q = Queue()
>>> logging.getLogger().addHandler(QueueHandler(q))
>>> listener = QueueListener(q, logging.StreamHandler())
>>> listener.start()
>>> try: 1/0
... except: logging.exception('Look out!')
... 
Look out!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Patching QueueHandler.prepare() to set exc_text to None seems to fix this.
