I think logging is fine, but it misses a few pythonic functions on the
top of it to work with.

Right now, if you want to set up a logging output on a file or on
stdout with some options,
you have to write 5 or 6 lines of code.

These 5/6 lines could probably be put in a function in the logging module,
and be used with a few arguments. This function would return a logger
ready to be used.

Once a logger is created, logging is dead simple to use.

If you think it's a good idea I can try to work on a proposal for this
function signature.
