Bug report
Documentation for sys.addaudithook states "Hooks can then log the event [...]".
This works when I don't log, but instead print:
sys.addaudithook(print)
id(0) # printed
However, nothing gets logged when I follow the suggestion to log, like:
sys.addaudithook(functools.partial(logging.warning, 'Audit hook %s %s'))
id(0) # NOT logged
The cause is that logging.Logger._log (called by logging.warning) tries to find the caller (to populate module, lineno, funcName log format fields). For this, logging.Logger._log itself then causes audit events, which again call the audit hook. That results in infinite recursion, i.e. a RecursionError exception, which aborts the audit hook, and silences logging.
Workaround
By (temporarily) modifying logging._srcfile, the attempt to find the caller is skipped (and the log format fields are instead populated as "unknown"), infinite recursion and exception are prevented, and logging does happen:
sys.addaudithook(functools.partial(logging.warning, 'Audit hook %s %s'))
logging._srcfile = None # prevent finding caller
id(0) # logged
This is existing functionality, only (?) documented in source (file logging.__init__, line 188: "Setting _srcfile to None will prevent findCaller() from being called. This way, you can avoid the overhead of fetching caller information"). Though it works, the workaround is hard to find and not ideal.
Solutions
- Ideally,
loggingshould not attempt to gather caller info in an audit hook (however, this requires tight coupling of theloggingandsysmodules, so they understand each others' internals) - Equally user-friendly, audit events would not be generated within audit hooks (that risks incompleteness of auditing, but so does silencing logging)
- Less user-friendly, a keyword parameter (e.g.
find_caller: bool = True) could be added to the signature of each log function,logging.Logger._logcan inspect it, and the documentation forsys.addaudithookshould recommend to usefind_caller=Falsefor logging in audit hooks
# logging.Logger._log
if logging._srcfile and find_caller:
...
# to use
sys.addaudithook(functools.partial(logging.warning, 'Audit hook %s %s', find_caller=False))
id(0) # logged
- At the minimum, the documentation for
sys.addaudithookshould recommend above workaround, i.e. temporarily setlogging._srcfile = None
def my_log(event, args):
save_srcfile = logging._srcfile
logging._srcfile = None
logging.warning('Audit hook %s %s', event, args)
logging._srcfile = save_srcfile
sys.addaudithook(my_log)
id(0) # logged
Environment
The above issue exists in all Python versions supporting sys.addaudithook, i.e. 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11.
I tested on 3.8.10, 3.9.13, 3.10.4, and 3.110rc2 on Windows 11 64 bit.

Rechercherichtung
Reproduziere die Rekursion anhand der Beispiele sys.addaudithook und logging.warning und lies anschließend logging.init, insbesondere Logger._log, findCaller() und den _srcfile-Hinweis, zusammen mit der Dokumentation zu sys.addaudithook. Ermittle, welches der vorgeschlagenen Verhaltensweisen oder welche Dokumentationsänderung akzeptabel ist, und überprüfe, dass die Audit-Hook-Protokollierung nicht mehr rekursiv aufgerufen wird oder stillschweigend fehlschlägt.
