其中一个替代方案是将多处理日志写入一个已知文件，并注册一个atexit处理程序来加入这些进程，并在stderr上读取它;但是，您无法通过这种方式获得stderr上输出消息的实时流。

下面是我简单的破解/变通方法…不是最全面的，但很容易修改，比我在写这篇文章之前找到的任何其他答案都更容易阅读和理解:

import logging
import multiprocessing

class FakeLogger(object):
    def __init__(self, q):
        self.q = q
    def info(self, item):
        self.q.put('INFO - {}'.format(item))
    def debug(self, item):
        self.q.put('DEBUG - {}'.format(item))
    def critical(self, item):
        self.q.put('CRITICAL - {}'.format(item))
    def warning(self, item):
        self.q.put('WARNING - {}'.format(item))

def some_other_func_that_gets_logger_and_logs(num):
    # notice the name get's discarded
    # of course you can easily add this to your FakeLogger class
    local_logger = logging.getLogger('local')
    local_logger.info('Hey I am logging this: {} and working on it to make this {}!'.format(num, num*2))
    local_logger.debug('hmm, something may need debugging here')
    return num*2

def func_to_parallelize(data_chunk):
    # unpack our args
    the_num, logger_q = data_chunk
    # since we're now in a new process, let's monkeypatch the logging module
    logging.getLogger = lambda name=None: FakeLogger(logger_q)
    # now do the actual work that happens to log stuff too
    new_num = some_other_func_that_gets_logger_and_logs(the_num)
    return (the_num, new_num)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    multiprocessing.freeze_support()
    m = multiprocessing.Manager()
    logger_q = m.Queue()
    # we have to pass our data to be parallel-processed
    # we also need to pass the Queue object so we can retrieve the logs
    parallelable_data = [(1, logger_q), (2, logger_q)]
    # set up a pool of processes so we can take advantage of multiple CPU cores
    pool_size = multiprocessing.cpu_count() * 2
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=pool_size, maxtasksperchild=4)
    worker_output = pool.map(func_to_parallelize, parallelable_data)
    pool.close() # no more tasks
    pool.join()  # wrap up current tasks
    # get the contents of our FakeLogger object
    while not logger_q.empty():
        print logger_q.get()
    print 'worker output contained: {}'.format(worker_output)

下面是一个可以在Windows环境下使用的类，需要ActivePython。 您还可以继承其他日志处理程序(StreamHandler等)。

class SyncronizedFileHandler(logging.FileHandler):
    MUTEX_NAME = 'logging_mutex'

    def __init__(self , *args , **kwargs):

        self.mutex = win32event.CreateMutex(None , False , self.MUTEX_NAME)
        return super(SyncronizedFileHandler , self ).__init__(*args , **kwargs)

    def emit(self, *args , **kwargs):
        try:
            win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.mutex , win32event.INFINITE)
            ret = super(SyncronizedFileHandler , self ).emit(*args , **kwargs)
        finally:
            win32event.ReleaseMutex(self.mutex)
        return ret

下面是一个演示用法的例子:

import logging
import random , time , os , sys , datetime
from string import letters
import win32api , win32event
from multiprocessing import Pool

def f(i):
    time.sleep(random.randint(0,10) * 0.1)
    ch = random.choice(letters)
    logging.info( ch * 30)


def init_logging():
    '''
    initilize the loggers
    '''
    formatter = logging.Formatter("%(levelname)s - %(process)d - %(asctime)s - %(filename)s - %(lineno)d - %(message)s")
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

    file_handler = SyncronizedFileHandler(sys.argv[1])
    file_handler.setLevel(logging.INFO)
    file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(file_handler)

#must be called in the parent and in every worker process
init_logging() 

if __name__ == '__main__':
    #multiprocessing stuff
    pool = Pool(processes=10)
    imap_result = pool.imap(f , range(30))
    for i , _ in enumerate(imap_result):
        pass

如何将所有日志记录委托给另一个进程，从队列中读取所有日志条目?

LOG_QUEUE = multiprocessing.JoinableQueue()

class CentralLogger(multiprocessing.Process):
    def __init__(self, queue):
        multiprocessing.Process.__init__(self)
        self.queue = queue
        self.log = logger.getLogger('some_config')
        self.log.info("Started Central Logging process")

    def run(self):
        while True:
            log_level, message = self.queue.get()
            if log_level is None:
                self.log.info("Shutting down Central Logging process")
                break
            else:
                self.log.log(log_level, message)

central_logger_process = CentralLogger(LOG_QUEUE)
central_logger_process.start()

只需通过任何多进程机制甚至继承共享LOG_QUEUE，就可以很好地工作!

然而，另一种选择可能是日志包中各种非基于文件的日志处理程序:

套接字处理程序 数据报处理程序 系统日志处理程序

(和其他人)

通过这种方式，您可以轻松地在某个地方创建一个日志守护进程，以便安全地对其进行写入并正确地处理结果。(例如，一个简单的套接字服务器，它只是解pickle消息并将其发送到自己的旋转文件处理程序。)

SyslogHandler也会为您处理这个问题。当然，您可以使用自己的syslog实例，而不是系统实例。

其他线程的变体，它将日志记录和队列线程分开。

"""sample code for logging in subprocesses using multiprocessing

* Little handler magic - The main process uses loggers and handlers as normal.
* Only a simple handler is needed in the subprocess that feeds the queue.
* Original logger name from subprocess is preserved when logged in main
  process.
* As in the other implementations, a thread reads the queue and calls the
  handlers. Except in this implementation, the thread is defined outside of a
  handler, which makes the logger definitions simpler.
* Works with multiple handlers.  If the logger in the main process defines
  multiple handlers, they will all be fed records generated by the
  subprocesses loggers.

tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6 on Linux and Windows
