[New-bugs-announce] [issue5854] logging module's __all__ attribute not in sync with documentation

[Floris Bruynooghe]

New submission from Floris Bruynooghe <floris.bruynooghe at gmail.com>:

The logging module in Python 2.6 has started to use the __all__ method.
 However it does not list all the symbols that are described in the
documentation.  Most notably the getLogger function is not in the
__all__ list, but there are others like addLevelName, getLoggerClass,
setLoggerClass, ...

This does break code that does "from logging import *" which suddenly
can't use getLogger etc anymore.
