I agree that python logging is a bit homely, but didn't understand the up-front reasoning of this post, specifically the NIH part. I believe Python logging was modeled after Java logging which is why it is designed the way it is. Plenty of flexibility and lots of the associated grunt work too.

It needs to run under windows so hardcoding it to use syslog wouldn't make much sense, though I suppose the defaults per platform could be better.

Also, why is it important how Twisted does it? I don't see why one would use Twisted logging now that it exists in the stdlib.

Still I did enjoy the tips on using the syslog with python.
