[New-bugs-announce] [issue29808] SyslogHandler: should not raise exception in constructor if connection fails

[Марк Коренберг]

New submission from Марк Коренберг:

Syslog handler already able to ignore temporary errors while seding logs. So he knows that syslog server may be not reachable at the moment. But when we say about constructor, it fails with error. I have fixed that -- now it will ignore such errors, and try to re-connect on every logging as it was before. C's version does the same.
