logging is hard to configure

[stockh0lm]

I needed to switch logging to syslog, and added code to do that:

LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(module)s P%(process)d T%(thread)d %(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'stdout': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'stream': sys.stdout,
'formatter': 'verbose',
},
'sys-logger6': {
'class': 'logging.handlers.SysLogHandler',
"address": ["127.0.0.1", 514],
'facility': "local6",
'formatter': 'verbose',
},
},
'loggers': {
'my-logger': {
'handlers': ['sys-logger6', 'stdout'],
'level': logging.DEBUG,
'propagate': True,
},
}
}

logging.config.dictConfig(LOGGING)
my_logger = logging.getLogger('my-logger')

def _logger(name, level, msg, exc_info=None):
elapsed = time.monotonic() - start_time
hours = int(elapsed // 60)
seconds = elapsed - (hours * 60)
my_logger.log(level, f'{os.getpid()} - {hours:3}:{seconds:06.3f} {name:20} {msg}', exc_info=exc_info)

this could easily be put into a json config file.

is that a desired feature? i could provide a patch.
