Have you tried?

>>> import logging
>>> logging.handlers
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'handlers'
>>> import logging.handlers
>>> logging.handlers
<module 'logging.handlers' from '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/logging/handlers.pyc'>
>>> 

'logging' is a package. The 'logging' module does not contain a
definition of 'handlers' but there is a module 'handlers' in the 'logging'
directory.
