[Zope-dev] Syslog logger broken?

[Paul Winkler]

I could really use some help with this one.
Does anybody have:

A) an /etc/syslog.conf that definitely works
for logging messages from python's syslog logger?

B) a simple python script that exercises A?

I decided to check whether something was wrong with my syslog
configuration; i now suspect there may be, because 
I have been unable to get anything into syslog via python at all.
Here is my non-working test script, derived from the example
in the python standard lib docs at
http://docs.python.org/lib/node301.html :

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('myapp')
hdlr = logging.handlers.SysLogHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')
hdlr.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(hdlr) 
logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
logger.error('We have a problem')
logger.info('While this is just chatty')


And here is my attempt at logging everything to a new syslog file,
this is in /etc/syslog.conf:

# XXX
*.*             -/var/log/pw_testing.log
