[Python-Dev] Stdlib Logging questions (PEP 337 SoC)

The existing logging that she is replacing is done through methods of
the dispatcher class.  The dispatcher class is only a portion of the
whole module.

Agreed.

Are you suggesting that the logging module should ship with a standard
configuration that does something specific for py.* loggers?  Or even
one that has different handlers for different stdlib modules?

I had assumed this would be considered too intrusive a change.  If no
one chimes in, then I'll ask her to put at least investigating this
into at least the second half of the summer.
