Or for a practical example, here's how I used the above technique to solve this problem in web2py:

diff --git a/gluon/main.py b/gluon/main.py

--- a/gluon/main.py

+# This needed to prevent exception on Python 2.5:

 logpath = abspath("logging.conf")
 if os.path.exists(logpath):
     logging.config.fileConfig(abspath("logging.conf"))
