We have a Django app that invokes a third party library. It works fine when running with runserver, but under apache + wsgi, it throws this error:
'mod_wsgi.Log' object has no attribute 'name'
I'm going to start going through the code of that library to review its logging, but my first pass didn't reveal anything particularly different than what we're doing in the main app. If anyone has any ideas or pointers, it would help a lot.
The code expecting a 'name' attribute to exist is wrong. The Python documentation says about the 'name' attribute:
"""name - If the file object was created using open(), the name of the file. Otherwise, some string that indicates the source of the file object, of the form "<...>". This is a read-only attribute and may not be present on all file-like objects."""
In other words, it is not required to be present.
The mod_wsgi.Log object, which is standing in as a file object for sys.stdout and sys.stderr, therefore doesn't need to have a 'name' attribute.
As such, any code which is looking for 'name' attribute has to be tolerant of it not existing.
