Using smartLog in with Deadline crashes Nuke when using the Deadline internal submitter
Users reported that having smartLog and Deadline in the same environment freezes Nuke when using the Deadine internal submitter.
There seems to be an issue with Deadline logging to stdout which freezes Nuke and this comes apparent when having smartLog in the same environment. That is because smartLog needs to overwrite certain threading methods in order to log time accurately. Please have a look at this patch which seems to fix this issue of Deadline logging to stdout and thus no longer freeze Nuke when using the Deadline internal submitter:
