 the keys of the dict-like object. If you need a different method, e.g. if you
 want to prepend or append the contextual information to the message string,
 you just need to subclass :class:`LoggerAdapter` and override :meth:`process`
-to do what you need. Here's an example script which uses this class, which
-also illustrates what dict-like behaviour is needed from an arbitrary
-'dict-like' object for use in the constructor::
+to do what you need. Here is a simple example::
 
-   import logging
+    class CustomAdapter(logging.LoggerAdapter):
+        """
+        This example adapter expects the passed in dict-like object to have a
+        'connid' key, whose value in brackets is prepended to the log message.
+        """
+        def process(self, msg, kwargs):
+            return '[%s] %s' % (self.extra['connid'], msg), kwargs
 
-   class ConnInfo:
-       """
-       An example class which shows how an arbitrary class can be used as
-       the 'extra' context information repository passed to a LoggerAdapter.
-       """
+which you can use like this::
 
-       def __getitem__(self, name):
-           """
-           To allow this instance to look like a dict.
-           """
-           from random import choice
-           if name == 'ip':
-               result = choice(['127.0.0.1', '192.168.0.1'])
-           elif name == 'user':
-               result = choice(['jim', 'fred', 'sheila'])
-           else:
-               result = self.__dict__.get(name, '?')
-           return result
+    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+    adapter = CustomAdapter(logger, {'connid': some_conn_id})
 
-       def __iter__(self):
-           """
-           To allow iteration over keys, which will be merged into
-           the LogRecord dict before formatting and output.
-           """
-           keys = ['ip', 'user']
-           keys.extend(self.__dict__.keys())
-           return keys.__iter__()
+Then any events that you log to the adapter will have the value of
+``some_conn_id`` prepended to the log messages.

+You don't need to pass an actual dict to a :class:`LoggerAdapter` - you could
+pass an instance of a class which implements ``__getitem__`` and ``__iter__`` so
+that it looks like a dict to logging. This would be useful if you want to
+generate values dynamically (whereas the values in a dict would be constant).
