A new package for extending SysLogHandler with TLS support has been added on PyPI [1]. Modern syslog servers such as rsyslog, syslog-ng and OpenBSD's syslogd have TLS support for secure remote logging. Unfortunately the core python SysLogHandler does not have this functionality yet. TLSSysLogHandler extends the SysLogHandler instead of a re-implementation and allows specifying a new "secure" parameter, which enables using TLS with TCP. The hope is to get TLS functionality into core SysLogHandler after this package is stable. The discussion is present on the forum's [2].
