Vinay:

My own impression of the logging module, formed from trying to use its
documentation in the past, is that it's somewhat unapproachable, and
difficult to use for simple purposes.

I am happy to say that now I see the current (3.1) documentation it has
improved to the point where I would be happy to try using it again.
Thanks for your long-term maintenance of this package.

regards
 Steve
