Not exactly, it does not ignore errors. First, an error doesn’t occur until a format op at/above level happens. Change to log.error() for example and watch the fireworks. Second, true it will continue on, but the error is well logged with a traceback. The thinking, I happen to agree with is that a logging error shouldn’t halt the program. A logging error doesn’t cause an error in the program itself. I could see an argument the other way in specific situations however. I’d probably subclass Logger instead if that is not configurable.
