You are not going beyond basicConfig - I'd write the above as:

logging.basicConfig(...)

def __init__(self, x):
     self.x = x
     self.log = logging.getLogger("a.nice.name")

If you *do* need more than a handler, or different formatters for  
different loggers, then you must write your own setup anyway; perhaps  
using logging.config files, or perhaps writing your own code. I can't  
think of a simple and generic approach (beyond what basicConfig provides)  
but if you can write something that other people find useful, feel free to  
submit a patch.
