For some reason, all the examples of the configuration files for the Python logging framework are artificial ones, with names like handler01,handler02 and so on. This makes it a little difficult to figure out how to apply it to a real world example.

The Python logging framework is extremely useful and powerful, but the documentation is somewhat lacking. It is dead easy to use in its simplest form:
