Lowell, there's a working sample right there in the docs:
I mentioned it in msg78619 in this issue. The link is
http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#sending-and-receiving-logging-events-across-a-network
This should get anyone started for a multiprocess logging requirement.
For a single-process multi-threaded scenario, Python logging should work
out of the box except in scenarios already discussed, where child
processes contend for the files - as per thredio.py - and if one can't
avoid spawning child processes which cause contention, then the socket
logging approach with a separate process can be used.
