+.. _context-info:
+
+Adding contextual information to your logging output
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes you want logging output to contain contextual information in
+addition to the parameters passed to the logging call. For example, in a
+networked application, it may be desirable to log client-specific information
+in the log (e.g. remote client's username, or IP address). Although you could
+use the *extra* parameter to achieve this, it's not always convenient to pass
+the information in this way. While it might be tempting to create
+:class:`Logger` instances on a per-connection basis, this is not a good idea
+because these instances are not garbage collected. While this is not a problem
+in practice, when the number of :class:`Logger` instances is dependent on the
+level of granularity you want to use in logging an application, it could
+be hard to manage if the number of :class:`Logger` instances becomes
+effectively unbounded.
+
+There are a number of other ways you can pass contextual information to be
+output along with logging event information.
+
+* Use an adapter class which has access to the contextual information and
+  which defines methods :meth:`debug`, :meth:`info` etc. with the same
+  signatures as used by :class:`Logger`. You instantiate the adapter with a
+  name, which will be used to create an underlying :class:`Logger` with that
+  name. In each adpater method, the passed-in message is modified to include
+  whatever contextual information you want.
+
+* Use something other than a string to pass the message. Although normally
+  the first argument to a logger method such as :meth:`debug`, :meth:`info`
+  etc. is usually a string, it can in fact be any object. This object is the
+  argument to a :func:`str()` call which is made, in
+  :meth:`LogRecord.getMessage`, to obtain the actual message string. You can
+  use this behavior to pass an instance which may be initialized with a
+  logging message, which redefines :meth:__str__ to return a modified version
+  of that message with the contextual information added.
+
+* Use a specialized :class:`Formatter` subclass to add additional information
+  to the formatted output. The subclass could, for instance, merge some thread
+  local contextual information (or contextual information obtained in some
+  other way) with the output generated by the base :class:`Formatter`.
+
+In each of these three approaches, thread locals can sometimes be a useful way
+of passing contextual information without undue coupling between different
+parts of your code.

+- Issue #1521: On 64bit platforms, using PyArgs_ParseTuple with the t# of w#
+  format code incorrectly truncated the length to an int, even when
+  PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is set.  The str.decode method used to return incorrect
+  results with huge strings.
+
+- Issue #1402: Fix a crash on exit, when another thread is still running, and
+  if the deallocation of its frames somehow calls the PyGILState_Ensure() /
+  PyGILState_Release() functions.
+
+- Expose the Py_Py3kWarningFlag as sys.py3kwarning.
+
+- Issue #1445: Fix a SystemError when accessing the ``cell_contents`` 
+  attribute of an empty cell object.
+
+- Issue #1460: The utf-7 incremental decoder did not accept truncated input.
+  It now correctly saves its state between chunks of data.
+
+- Patch #1739468: Directories and zipfiles containing a __main__.py file can
+  now be directly executed by passing their name to the interpreter. The
+  directory/zipfile is automatically inserted as the first entry in sys.path.
+
+- Issue #1265: Fix a problem with sys.settrace, if the tracing function uses a
+  generator expression when at the same time the executed code is closing a
+  paused generator.
+
+- sets and frozensets now have an isdisjoint() method.
+
+- optimize the performance of builtin.sum().
+
+- Fix warnings found by the new version of the Coverity checker.
+
+- The enumerate() builtin function is no longer bounded to sequences smaller
+  than LONG_MAX.  Formerly, it raised an OverflowError.  Now, automatically
+  shifts from ints to longs.
+
+- Issue #1686386: Tuple's tp_repr did not take into account the possibility of
+  having a self-referential tuple, which is possible from C code.  Nor did
+  object's tp_str consider that a type's tp_str could do something that could
+  lead to an inifinite recursion.  Py_ReprEnter() and Py_EnterRecursiveCall(),
+  respectively, fixed the issues.
+
+- Issue #1164: It was possible to trigger deadlock when using the 'print'
+  statement to write to a file since the GIL was not released as needed.  Now
+  PyObject_Print() does the right thing along with various tp_print
+  implementations of the built-in types and those in the collections module.
+
+- Issue #1147: Exceptions were directly allowing string exceptions in their
+  throw() method even though string exceptions no longer allowed.
+
+- Issue #1096: Prevent a segfault from getting the repr of a very deeply nested
+  list by using the recursion counter.
+
+- Issue #1202533: Fix infinite recursion calls triggered by calls to
+  PyObject_Call() never calling back out to Python code to trigger recursion
+  depth updates/checks.  Required the creation of a static RuntimeError
+  instance in case normalizing an exception put the recursion check value past
+  its limit.  Fixes crashers infinite_rec_(1|2|4|5).py.
+
+- Patch #1031213: Decode source line in SyntaxErrors back to its original source
+  encoding.
+
+- Py_ssize_t fields work in structmember when HAVE_LONG_LONG is not defined.
+
+- PEP 3123: Provide forward compatibility with Python 3.0, while keeping
+  backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and
+  PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT.
+
+- Patch #1673759: add a missing overflow check when formatting floats
+  with %G.
+
+- Patch #1733960: Allow T_LONGLONG to accept ints.
+
+- T_PYSSIZET can now be used in PyMemberDef lists for Py_ssize_t members.
+
+- Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode objects from causing a segfault
+  when a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.
+
+- Bug #1733488: Fix compilation of bufferobject.c on AIX.
+
+- Bug #1722485: remove docstrings again when running with -OO.
+
+- Add new attribute names for function objects.  All the func_* become
+  __*__ attributes.  (Some already existed, e.g., __doc__ and __name__.)
+
+- Add -3 option to the interpreter to warn about features that are
+  deprecated and will be changed/removed in Python 3.0.
+
+- Patch #1686487: you can now pass any mapping after '**' in function
+  calls.
+
+- except clauses may now be spelled either "except E, target:" or
+  "except E as target:". This is to provide forwards compatibility with
+  Python 3.0.
+
+- Deprecate BaseException.message as per PEP 352.
+
+- Bug #1303614: don't expose object's __dict__ when the dict is
+  inherited from a builtin base.
+
+- When __slots__ are set to a unicode string, make it work the same as
+  setting a plain string, ie don't expand to single letter identifiers.
+
+- Request #1191699:  Slices can now be pickled.
+
+- Request #1193128:  str.translate() now allows a None argument for
+  translations that only remove characters without re-mapping the
+  remaining characters.
+
+- Patch #1682205: a TypeError while unpacking an iterable is no longer
+  masked by a generic one with the message "unpack non-sequence".
+
+- Remove unused file Python/fmod.c.
+
+- Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are
+  now stricter in rejecting excess arguments.  The only time when
+  either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the
+  other one is.  For backwards compatibility, when both are
+  overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k
+  warning later).  Also, type.__init__() insists on the same signature
+  as supported by type.__new__().
+
+- Patch #1675423: PyComplex_AsCComplex() now tries to convert an object
+  to complex using its __complex__() method before falling back to the
+  __float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now
+  can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.
+
+- Patch #1623563: allow __class__ assignment for classes with __slots__.
+  The old and the new class are still required to have the same slot names.
+
+- Patch #1642547: Fix an error/crash when encountering syntax errors in
+  complex if statements.
+
+- Patch #1462488: Python no longer segfaults when ``object.__reduce_ex__()``
+  is called with an object that is faking its type.
+
+- Patch #1680015: Don't modify __slots__ tuple if it contains an unicode
+  name.
+
+- Patch #1444529: the builtin compile() now accepts keyword arguments.
+
+- Bug #1678647: write a newline after printing an exception in any
+  case, even when converting the value to a string failed.
+
+- The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on
+  its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows
+  customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__().
+
+- Patch #922167: Python no longer segfaults when faced with infinitely
+  self-recursive reload() calls (as reported by bug #742342).
+
+- Patch #1675981: remove unreachable code from ``type.__new__()`` method.
+
+- Patch #1491866: change the complex() constructor to allow parthensized
+  forms. This means complex(repr(x)) now works instead of raising a
+  ValueError.
+
+- Patch #703779: unset __file__ in __main__ after running a file. This
+  makes the filenames the warning module prints much more sensible when
+  a PYTHONSTARTUP file is used.
+
+- Variant of patch #697613: don't exit the interpreter on a SystemExit
+  exception if the -i command line option or PYTHONINSPECT environment
+  variable is given, but break into the interactive interpreter just like
+  on other exceptions or normal program exit.
+
+- Patch #1638879: don't accept strings with embedded NUL bytes in long().
+
+- Bug #1674503: close the file opened by execfile() in an error condition.
+
+- Patch #1674228: when assigning a slice (old-style), check for the
+  sq_ass_slice instead of the sq_slice slot.
+
+- When printing an unraisable error, don't print exceptions. before the name.
+  This duplicates the behavior whening normally printing exceptions.
+
+- Bug #1653736: Properly discard third argument to slot_nb_inplace_power.
+
+- PEP 352: Raising a string exception now triggers a TypeError.  Attempting to
+  catch a string exception raises DeprecationWarning.
+
+- Bug #1377858: Fix the segfaulting of the interpreter when an object created
+  a weakref on itself during a __del__ call for new-style classes (classic
+  classes still have the bug).
+
+- Bug #1579370: Make PyTraceBack_Here use the current thread, not the
+  frame's thread state.
+
+- patch #1630975: Fix crash when replacing sys.stdout in sitecustomize.py
+
+- Bug #1637022: Prefix AST symbols with _Py_.
+
+- Prevent seg fault on shutdown which could occur if an object
+  raised a warning.
+
+- Bug #1566280: Explicitly invoke threading._shutdown from Py_Main,
+  to avoid relying on atexit.
+
+- Bug #1590891: random.randrange don't return correct value for big number
+

+
+- Bug #1576657: when setting a KeyError for a tuple key, make sure that
+  the tuple isn't used as the "exception arguments tuple".
+
+- Bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks.
+
+- Bug #1576174: WindowsError now displays the windows error code
+  again, no longer the posix error code.
+
+- Patch #1549049: Support long values in structmember, issue warnings
+  if the assigned value for structmember fields gets truncated.
+
+- Update the peephole optimizer to remove more dead code (jumps after returns)
+  and inline unconditional jumps to returns.
+
+- Bug #1545497: when given an explicit base, int() did ignore NULs
+  embedded in the string to convert.
+
+- Bug #1569998: break inside a try statement (outside a loop) is now
+  recognized and rejected.
+
+- list.pop(x) accepts any object x following the __index__ protocol.
+
+- Fix some leftovers from the conversion from int to Py_ssize_t
+  (relevant to strings and sequences of more than 2**31 items).
+
+- A number of places, including integer negation and absolute value,
+  were fixed to not rely on undefined behaviour of the C compiler
+  anymore.
+
+- Bug #1566800: make sure that EnvironmentError can be called with any
+  number of arguments, as was the case in Python 2.4.
+
+- Patch #1567691: super() and new.instancemethod() now don't accept
+  keyword arguments any more (previously they accepted them, but didn't
+  use them).
+
+- Fix a bug in the parser's future statement handling that led to "with"
+  not being recognized as a keyword after, e.g., this statement:
+  from __future__ import division, with_statement
+
+- Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)).
+
+- Fix %zd string formatting on Mac OS X so it prints negative numbers.
+
+- Allow exception instances to be directly sliced again.
+
+- Bug #1551432: Exceptions do not define an explicit __unicode__ method.  This
+  allows calling unicode() on exceptions classes directly to succeed.
+
+- Make _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() static, it was not used anywhere
+  outside of pystate.c and should not be necessary.
+
+- Bug #1542051: Exceptions now correctly call PyObject_GC_UnTrack.
+  Also make sure that every exception class has __module__ set to
+  'exceptions'.
+
+- Bug #1550983: emit better error messages for erroneous relative
+  imports (if not in package and if beyond toplevel package).
+
+- Overflow checking code in integer division ran afoul of new gcc
+  optimizations.  Changed to be more standard-conforming.
+
+- Patch #1542451: disallow continue anywhere under a finally.
+
+- Patch #1546288: fix seg fault in dict_equal due to ref counting bug.
+
+- The return tuple from str.rpartition(sep) is (tail, sep, head) where
+  head is the original string if sep was not found.
+
+- Bug #1520864: unpacking singleton tuples in list comprehensions and
+  generator expressions (x for x, in ... ) works again.  Fixing this problem
+  required changing the .pyc magic number.  This means that .pyc files
+  generated before 2.5c2 will be regenerated.
+
+- with and as are now keywords.
+
+- Bug #1664966: Fix crash in exec if Unicode filename can't be decoded.
+
+- Issue #1537: Changed GeneratorExit's base class from Exception to BaseException.

+
+- Issue 1429818: patch for trace and doctest modules so they play nicely

+
+- doctest made a bad assumption that a package's __loader__.get_data()
+  method used universal newlines.
+
+- Issue #1705170: contextlib.contextmanager was still swallowing
+  StopIteration in some cases. This should no longer happen.
+
+- Issue #1292: On alpha, arm, ppc, and s390 linux systems the

+  to be orderable to properly represent them.
+
+- A 'c_longdouble' type was added to the ctypes module.
+
+- Bug #1709599: Run test_1565150 only if the file system is NTFS.
+
+- When encountering a password-protected robots.txt file the RobotFileParser
+  no longer prompts interactively for a username and password (bug 813986).
+
+- TarFile.__init__() no longer fails if no name argument is passed and
+  the fileobj argument has no usable name attribute (e.g. StringIO).
+
+- The functools module now provides 'reduce', for forward compatibility

+
+- The urlopen function of urllib2 now has an optional timeout parameter (note 
+  that it actually works with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS connections).
+
+- In ftplib, the FTP.ntransfercmd method, when in passive mode, now uses

+
+- Fix bug in marshal where bad data would cause a segfault due to
+  lack of an infinite recursion check.
+
+- Removed plat-freebsd2 and plat-freebsd3 directories (and IN.py in

+
+- HTML-escape the plain traceback in cgitb's HTML output, to prevent

+
+- Patch #1685563: remove (don't add) duplicate paths in distutils.MSVCCompiler.
+
+- Added a timeout parameter to the constructor of other protocols

+
+- Patch #1676823: Added create_connection() to socket.py, which may be

+
+- Patch #1530482: add pydoc.render_doc() which returns the documentation
+  for a thing instead of paging it to stdout, which pydoc.doc() does.
+

+  are set for invalid interpolation sequences that would lead to errors
+  on reading back those values.
+
+- Added support for the POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format to tarfile.py. Extended
+  and cleaned up the test suite. Added a new testtar.tar.

+- Bug #1651235: When a tuple was passed to a ctypes function call,
+  Python would crash instead of raising an error.

+
+- Patch #1481079: add support for HTTP_REFERER to CGIHTTPServer.

+  The KeyError raised by Zipfile.getinfo for nonexistent names now has 
+  a descriptive message.
+
+- Bug #1115886: os.path.splitext('.cshrc') gives now ('.cshrc', '').
+
+- unittest now verifies more of its assumptions. In particular, TestCase
+  and TestSuite subclasses (not instances) are no longer accepted in
+  TestSuite.addTest(). This should cause no incompatibility since it
+  never made sense with ordinary subclasses -- the failure just occurred
+  later, with a more cumbersome exception.
+
+- Patch #787789: allow to pass custom TestRunner instances to unittest's
+  main() function.
+
+- Patches #1550273, #1550272: fix a few bugs in unittest and add a

+  In version 2.4, this printed "None", restored that behavior.
+
+- Make webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser usable in Windows (it wasn't because
+  the close_fds arg to subprocess.Popen is not supported).
+
+- Reverted patch #1504333 to sgmllib because it introduced an infinite loop.
+
+- Patch #1553314: Fix the inspect.py slowdown that was hurting IPython & SAGE
+  by adding smarter caching in inspect.getmodule()

+  first chunk fed to the decoder started with a BOM, but was longer than 3 bytes.
+
+- The implementation of UnicodeError objects has been simplified (start and end
+  attributes are now stored directly as Py_ssize_t members).
