I scanned the PEP and didn't find a reference to the logging package supporting logging over a network.

I think the right way to handle that would be to pass a file-like object to the logging framework, which it then write()'s to.

It seems to me that it should be trivial to map from the logging API to syslog; it already provides for logging to remote systems as well as filtering.

I'm sure this is already hashed out in the PEP though, so I should be reading that instead of commenting here. ;-)
