[New-bugs-announce] [issue11648] openlog()s 'logopt' keyword broken in syslog module

[Tim Bielawa]

New submission from Tim Bielawa <tbielawa at redhat.com>:

Issue 8451 unintentionally introduced a bug into the openlog() function in the syslog module.

syslog.openlog() as documented [1] is defined as: syslog.openlog([ident[, logopt[, facility]]]). I believe this is caused by the patch for issue 8451 redefining the kwargs to expect a 'logoption' keyword instead.


This patch:

 - Fixes syslog.openlog() so that it properly accepts the 'logopt' keyword argument again.
