Currently, if the logging module is used with no handlers configured for a logger or its parents and you try to log events with that logger, a single message is printed to sys.stderr:

No handlers could be found for logger It has been suggested that this puts out a spurious message when, for whatever reason, a developer intentionally does not configure any handlers. [...] All feedback gratefully received,

How about a LoggingConfigurationWarning and using warnings.warn()? Then what should happen with the warning (ignore, print, raise exception) could be configured via the warning framework.
