Is the intent to use syslog specifically, or (hopefully) use the python logging module in combination with the sysloghandler? I'd strongly suggest using the python logging module as that allows you to choose syslog or anything else you want for output, as well as provide your own custom log handling. As a bonus, it's also thread-safe... Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
