This is equivalent to my suggestion: allow msg to be a class instance whose
__str__() returns the format string. I know it's slightly different, but you
can use it in the same sort of way, and we're discussing minor variations on
a theme.

No - I don't think it warrants one, yet. I use version control so I can get
past versions, but it's not on CVS anywhere - it's not really been a shared
development as such, though a few people have been kind enough to submit
small patches.

If, as I hope, logging.py makes it into Python 2.3, it will be automatically
in Python's CVS and I won't need to trouble to create one just for
logging...

Vinay
