Source line number for log purpose (newbie)

[T. C. Mits]

Ok.  I looked in Exception library and don't see the relevance.   I am
logging normal code, not exceptions.   For example,
log.prtl( SERIOUS, "About to create dest file %s" % newfilename)

In this case, to help maintainers of the code, I want to also log the line
number where this statement is found in the source.

I'm now thinking this has to done by digging into the Python extension
mechanisms and system variables deep in the system?
