[Trent] > Yes, I suppose so. I'd like to call YAGNI on this. Also on the idea of being able to pass an exception to all logging levels. Also on the idea of passing the excinfo in rather than having the logger call sys.excinfo(). Instead, the logger should be subclassable or extensible so that Jeremy can implement this functionality if he really wants it. KISS.
