Summary: syslog syscall support for SysLogLogger
Initial Comment:
This allows SysLogLogger to be used via the normal syslog syscall.

The use of syslog is system-specific - there is no syslog syscall on
Windows.

Yes, that might be a sane thing to add :)
That exact problem bit me a few days ago, actually (I'm using this code
already).

Now I understand. Thank you for your patience :)
BTW, wouldn't it be nice to do os.path.basename() on ident?

No, 'syslog' wouldn't work because the running program's name is not
'syslog'. It should be the same name as appears in the process list, which
is argv[0]

Sorry, I quoted wrong PEP... PEP 7 is for C code, not Python's one.
PEP 8 is right guide.
I'm still wondering whether using sys.argv[0] for default value is valid
or not.
How about changing this as ident = 'syslog'?
doesn't that work?

The 'ident' value is normally the name of the program, which should be
argv[0]. I prefer and normally use single-tab indents. However, when
patching code, I adjust to the existing standard within the source. In this
case, my handlers.py was already indented with spaces so I conformed to
that. I glanced at svn before posting this, and it doesn't appear to be
much different for this file.

Thank you for your reply.
A few more comments and requests.
+ def __init__(self, address=('localhost', SYSLOG_UDP_PORT),
facility=LOG_USER, ident=sys.argv[0]):
Why sys.argv[0]? Assuming command line arguments doesn't look reasonable
to me.
+ self.unixsocket = 0
+ self.syscall = 0
Please use single-tab indents. (PEP7)
Can I have the patch patch against the svn repository?
(against trunk should be preferable)
I had some problem applying your patch.

Not all syslog daemons accept socket connections. For example, metalog.

What advantage does OS's syslog have over the logging module's one?
I've never been familiar with syslog,
So could you please tell me the difference?
