Silencing broken pipe errors (`[Errno 32] Broken pipe`) in python with WSGI+Pyramid -

i have rather simple, naive python/wsgi/pyramid web-server.

it's run using wsgiref.simple_server.make_server(), on server built using pyramid.config.configurator().make_wsgi_app(). server works fine.

however, application it's serving has lot of javascript image mouseover popups. if run mouse across page, can generate 20+ image requests. fine (it's internal thing, not lot of users).

however, doing causes server emit half dozen error tracebacks:

i understand why i'm getting broken pipe errors (the request image canceled before image has transfered, because mouseover popup has closed), , seems harmless.

however, have no idea how silence traceback. there thousands of them in logs, , makes debugging actual errors nightmare. don't care i'm getting broken pipe errors, how can catch them , swallow them silently?

it seems wsgiref.simple_server.make_server() installs internal handler catches brokenpipeerror: [errno 32] broken pipe, prints traceback, , swallows error. i've tried wrapping run_server() call in try-except clause, , doesn't have effect.

i wound switching using cherrypy wsgi server. doesn't suffer broken pipe log issues, , far more robust well.

it uses threadpool, it's more performant (multiple requests aren't blocking!).
