[issue8581] Logging handlers do not handle double-closing very well

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> added the comment:

This part of the code has been changed in trunk (to use weak references), and the error does not occur in Python 2.7/3.2.

I'm not sure I fully agree with your assertion that it's not a programmer error to close a handler twice - this could certainly happen as a result of a bug in the application.

So, I'm not sure (now that we're in Python 2.7 beta) that it's worth backporting this to 2.6.6.

Thoughts?
