If this has to be added to the modules that don't currently do any logging, can we please delay the import until it's actually needed?

now that we've had a needforspeed sprint, it's clear that it's time to start working on slowing things down again ;-)

I think it would be a good idea to revisit the module list. I can see a reasonable case for the BaseHTTP stuff and asyncore needing a logging framework, if you plan to make them part of some larger framework -- the configurability would be a plus

asyncore's logging is configurable through subclassing, as is everything else in asyncore (the components don't do anything if you don't subclass them). mapping to the logger module by default will save 5-10 lines of code in an application that wants to use the logger module. replacing the existing logging hooks with the logger module will break tons of stuff.

BaseHTTP only does webserver-style logging, as far as I can tell.
