Summary: logging.config: Does not check logging.handlers for handlers

Initial Comment:
In fileConfig(), only the logging module is checked for
handler names.

klass = eval(klass, vars(logging))
...
args = eval(args, vars(logging))

This prevents the user from using handlers which are
defined in logging.handlers. 

A quick and dirty fix that seems to work for me is

klass = eval(klass, dict(vars(logging).items() +
vars(logging.handlers).items()))
...
args = eval(args, dict(vars(logging).items() +
vars(logging.handlers).items()))

This is almost certainly not the best way to do it, but
it Works For Me (TM)
