P.S. On a completely unrelated note, has anyone thought about creating a write-only TextIO stream that outputs received writes via the logging module?

I've done something similar for C++ iostreams many moons ago. The idea was to prepend all lines written to std::log with timestamp and other information. It worked reasonably well, but involved a lot of C++ hackery at the time. I think this is a great idea and would allow existing libraries that use sys.stderr for messages start using say the root logger instead when user redefines sys.stderr.
