That said, while I think Vinay's suggested "handler of last resort" solution is a good one and something we should be doing for 3.2, I'm also happy to let the idea bake for at least a few weeks.

I agree on the baking part, since it will allow time for any drawbacks to be spotted or better solutions found. There are also the questions of what level and format to use for the handler of last resort, before it can actually be implemented.

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?

Is this for use at the C level? At the Python level, there's a post I wrote a while back which shows how to use a logger like an output stream:
