I'd like to see a logging module in the standard Python library. Is anybody interested in helping spec out requirements and work on an implementation? Some ideas from Zope's zLOG module should probably go into it (it should eventually be a replacement for that), and some from log4j (http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/). Any takers?

I'm not sure I'm a "taker", but I did a bit of research and found log4p, http://log4p.sourceforge.net/

Have you looked at it, and if yes, what's a short reason why it wouldn't be suitable? (One of the things I disliked about Zlogger (I believe that's the correct name) is that it seems to require an error tuple, based on what I'm reading in http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/LOGGING.txt I believe that loggers should be more generic.)
