Thank you for the reply. I'll look into subclassing, but I am not convinced that there is a way to fix this: The basic problem is that one viewer has a file open, and the logger would like to start a new file with the same name.
What would work, is to generate file names based on (say) the current day, as in Logfile-20110502.txt. This design avoids the problem that we're rolling over to files of the same name, but it is a different beast from RotatingFileHandler.
That said, I think this issue should be reopened: RotatingFileHandler is a part of the standard library, and Windows is a supported platform.
If the logger crashes because somebody is looking at a log file, this is a valid bug.
