Actually it's no biggie to have an optional style argument for basicConfig. People who don't use it don't have to specify it; the style argument would only apply if format was specified.

ok

For some people, use of {} over % is more about personal taste than about the actual usage of str.format's flexibility;

Thought you were talking about me, you only needed to say «he has black hair and blue eyes» ... ;o)

we may as well accommodate that preference, as it encourages in a small way the use of {}-formatting.

ok , nevermind , it's ok for me anyway (provided that sections for fileConfig will be available) .
