Which code are you looking at? Here is the entirety of StreamHandler.__init__:
def __init__(self, stream=None):
"""
Initialize the handler.
If stream is not specified, sys.stderr is used.
"""
Handler.__init__(self)
if stream is None:
stream = sys.stderr
self.stream = stream

I'm not sure your tone is particularly constructive here. I don't regard the
code you say you've read, reproduced above, is particularly Rube-Goldbergian,
or even Heath-Robinsonish. And are you presuming to speak for all Python users
here?

As far as I can remember, you're the first person to bring this up since
logging was added to Python in 2003. In all that time, no-one appears to have
been confused by that prose, which has been there since pretty much the
beginning, though there was a spelling change and a logging documentation
reorganisation around 9 years ago.
