Built-in logging module may lead to memory leak?

[Yp Xie]

Hi guys,

I'm using the python built-in logging module in a django project. Using dictConfig, the configuration in settings.py is like this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOGGING = {

    'version': 1,

    'disable_existing_loggers': False,

    'handlers': {

        'mail_admins': {

            'level': 'ERROR',

            'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'

        },

        'console': {

            'level': 'DEBUG',

            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',

            'formatter': 'verbose'

        },

        'logfile': {

            'level': 'DEBUG',

            'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',

            'filename': os.path.join(ROOT_DIR(), 'django.log'),

            'maxBytes': 1024 * 1024 * 10,

            'backupCount': 5,

            'formatter': 'verbose',

        },

    }

    'formatters': {

        'verbose': {

            'format': '######################################################################\n'

                      '%(levelname)s | %(asctime)s | %(process)s | %(module)s | %(name)s.%(funcName)s:%(lineno)d | \n%(message)s',

            'datefmt': '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',

        },

        'simple': {

            'format': '%(levename)s | %(asctime)s | %(message)s'

        },

    },

    'loggers': {

        'django': {

            'handlers': ['console', 'logfile'],

            'level': 'INFO',

        },

        'django.request': {

            'handlers': ['console', 'mail_admins'],

            'level': 'ERROR',

            'propagate': False

        },

        'project_name': {

            'handlers': ['console', 'logfile'],

            'level': 'DEBUG',

            'propagate': True,

        },

        'utility': {

            'handlers': ['console', 'logfile'],

            'level': 'DEBUG',

            'propagate': True,

        },

    }

}

LOGGING_CONFIG = None

import logging.config

logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I use logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) in the code under 'project_name' module.

And I find it causes huge memory leak problem, the memory usage keeps growing and never goes down.

if I replace the logger.info() part with a simple print() function, the memory usage is small and stable, so I guess it's the logging module that should to blame. 

But it's a core python built-in module, I don't think there is a huge memory leak problem without others point it out.
The only useful infomation of google results I found is https://www.codeday.top/2017/02/10/12540.html

So I used objgraph to detect if the Logger type numbers kept growing, but the result suggested that no obvious leaking types.

I've been in this situation for almost a week, and still can't work it out.

Anyone can give me some hints on this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Can you please print here a code snippet where you are using:

> logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
