如果在日志模块中的锁、线程和fork的组合中出现死锁，则在错误报告6721中报告(另见相关SO问题)。

有一个小的解决方案张贴在这里。

但是，这只会修复日志记录中任何潜在的死锁。这并不能解决问题，事情可能会变得混乱。请参阅此处提供的其他答案。

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

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!

我刚刚写了一个我自己的日志处理程序，它只是通过管道将所有内容提供给父进程。我只测试了十分钟，但它似乎工作得很好。

(注意:这是硬编码到RotatingFileHandler，这是我自己的用例。)

更新:@javier现在将这种方法作为Pypi上可用的包来维护-参见Pypi上的multiprocessing-logging, github上的https://github.com/jruere/multiprocessing-logging

更新:实现!

现在它使用队列来正确地处理并发，并正确地从错误中恢复。现在，我已经在生产中使用了几个月了，下面的当前版本工作起来没有问题。

from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler
import multiprocessing, threading, logging, sys, traceback

class MultiProcessingLog(logging.Handler):
    def __init__(self, name, mode, maxsize, rotate):
        logging.Handler.__init__(self)

        self._handler = RotatingFileHandler(name, mode, maxsize, rotate)
        self.queue = multiprocessing.Queue(-1)

        t = threading.Thread(target=self.receive)
        t.daemon = True
        t.start()

    def setFormatter(self, fmt):
        logging.Handler.setFormatter(self, fmt)
        self._handler.setFormatter(fmt)

    def receive(self):
        while True:
            try:
                record = self.queue.get()
                self._handler.emit(record)
            except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
                raise
            except EOFError:
                break
            except:
                traceback.print_exc(file=sys.stderr)

    def send(self, s):
        self.queue.put_nowait(s)

    def _format_record(self, record):
        # ensure that exc_info and args
        # have been stringified.  Removes any chance of
        # unpickleable things inside and possibly reduces
        # message size sent over the pipe
        if record.args:
            record.msg = record.msg % record.args
            record.args = None
        if record.exc_info:
            dummy = self.format(record)
            record.exc_info = None

        return record

    def emit(self, record):
        try:
            s = self._format_record(record)
            self.send(s)
        except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
            raise
        except:
            self.handleError(record)

    def close(self):
        self._handler.close()
        logging.Handler.close(self)

下面是另一个简单的解决方案，适用于从谷歌到这里的其他人(比如我)。日志记录应该很简单!仅适用于3.2或更高版本。

import multiprocessing
import logging
from logging.handlers import QueueHandler, QueueListener
import time
import random


def f(i):
    time.sleep(random.uniform(.01, .05))
    logging.info('function called with {} in worker thread.'.format(i))
    time.sleep(random.uniform(.01, .05))
    return i


def worker_init(q):
    # all records from worker processes go to qh and then into q
    qh = QueueHandler(q)
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    logger.addHandler(qh)


def logger_init():
    q = multiprocessing.Queue()
    # this is the handler for all log records
    handler = logging.StreamHandler()
    handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter("%(levelname)s: %(asctime)s - %(process)s - %(message)s"))

    # ql gets records from the queue and sends them to the handler
    ql = QueueListener(q, handler)
    ql.start()

    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    # add the handler to the logger so records from this process are handled
    logger.addHandler(handler)

    return ql, q


def main():
    q_listener, q = logger_init()

    logging.info('hello from main thread')
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(4, worker_init, [q])
    for result in pool.map(f, range(10)):
        pass
    pool.close()
    pool.join()
    q_listener.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

通过使用处理程序，当前所有解决方案都与日志记录配置过于耦合。我的解决方案具有以下架构和功能:

您可以使用任何想要的日志记录配置 日志记录在守护进程线程中完成 使用上下文管理器安全关闭守护进程 与日志线程的通信是由多进程完成的。队列 在子进程中，日志记录。Logger(和已经定义的实例)被打补丁以将所有记录发送到队列 新:在发送到队列之前格式化回溯和消息，以防止pickle错误
