Updating handlers in QueueListener after it is created

Question

is there anyway to change the number/config of handlers in the QueueListener after it is created?

I could recreate it every time I need, but that doesn't sound very efficient.

Answer 1

The handlers are accessible through a property called handlers. Simple example that shows how to remove the last handler:

sh1 = logging.StreamHandler()
sh2 = logging.StreamHandler()
ql = logging.handlers.QueueListener(queue.SimpleQueue(), sh1, sh2)
ql.handlers = ql.handlers[:-1]
