What's proposed to be in settings.py is the actual configuration, not the mechanism. The mechanism will be the new-in-Python-2.7-and-3.2 configuration via dictionaries (rather than via Python code or the ini- style confguration files - see PEP 391 for more details of the rationale behind dict-based configuration). Existing projects (like Django) can use the standalone dictconfig project on BitBucket to get the functionality which will be in Python 2.7 and 3.2, for use with earlier versions of Python. So really, Django is using the same mechanisms as Python for logging. It's good practice to put a shallow interface between the Django and Python logging configuration layers, to allow Django to specify sensible defaults. (There's an example of that in my Launchpad branch - the Django layer adds a default key in the dictionary to specify that by default, existing loggers are not disabled when configuration happens.) Logging of third-party libraries and django-apps (which make use of logging) in a Django site will be customisable through the logging configuration mechanism being proposed. All of Django, your apps and their dependencies, third-party apps and their dependencies - if any of them already use logging in the conventional way, you will be able to modify their logging behaviour through this mechanism.
