[Python-Dev] Unification of logging in Python's Standard Library

[Guido van Rossum]

> > With the inclusion of the new 'logging' module in Python 2.3, I'm
> > wondering whether there are plans to update the rest of the Standard
> > Library to use this module wherever there is logging to be done.  I
> > can think of a few Standard Library modules off the top of my head
> > that currently "roll their own" logging system:
> >
> > asyncore.py
> > BaseHTTPServer.py
> > cgi.py
> > doctest.py
> > imaplib.py
> > unittest.py
> >
> > A single, unified logging system across the entire Python Standard
> > Library would be a worthy goal for some future release (Python 3000,
> > or maybe even 2.4/2.5?).
> 
> This seems a good idea, and quite feasible for 2.4 (we do have over
> a year before 2.4 is going to be feature-frozen, after all).  I would
> suggest you post this proposal directly to Python-dev, though --
> here on c.l.py it's too likely to get accidentally overlooked!
