Howdy all,
I would appreciate any comments you might have on this proposal for adding a logging system to the Python Standard Library. This PEP is still an early draft so please forward your comments just to me directly for now.
I scanned the PEP and didn't find a reference to the logging package supporting logging over a network.
Influences
This proposal was put together after having somewhat studied the following logging packages:
o java.util.logging in JDK 1.4 (a.k.a. JSR047) [1] o log4j [2] These two systems are *very* similar. o the Syslog package from the Protomatter project [3] o MAL's mx.Log package [4]
This proposal will basically look like java.util.logging with a smattering of log4j.
Marshal Rose submitted RFC3195[1] to the IETF for a syslog protocol. The specification is defined as a profile on top of the BEEP framework. The format of the messages are encoded in XML. Here is an example of an "entry" element.
