Description:
 def prepare(self, record):
 # Function taken from Python 3.6 QueueHandler """ Prepares a record for queuing. The object returned by this method is enqueued. The base implementation formats the record to merge the message and arguments, and removes unpickleable items from the record in-place. You might want to override this method if you want to convert the record to a dict or JSON string, or send a modified copy of the record while leaving the original intact. """

        # The format operation gets traceback text into record.exc_text
        # (if there's exception data), and also puts the message into
        # record.message. We can then use this to replace the original
        # msg + args, as these might be unpickleable. We also zap the
        # exc_info attribute, as it's no longer needed and, if not None,
        # will typically not be pickleable.
        self.format(record)
        record.msg = record.message
        record.args = None
        record.exc_info = None
        return record
