New submission from Ryan <tryanunderw...@gmail.com>:

When using the SysLogHandler 
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#logging.handlers.SysLogHandler)
 the supported facilities appear to be lagging the RFC (5454 ?), or at least 
what is being supported in other mainstream languages. I Specifically need 
LOG_AUDIT and LOG_NTP but there are a couple others. The syslog "openlog" 
function takes an INT but not sure how to get an INT through the python 
SysLogHandler because it's based on a static list of names and symbolic values.
Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog#Facility) suggests LOG_AUTH and 
LOG_NTP are in the RFC. 
This is my first ticket here so hopefully this is the right place for it. Maybe 
there is a workaround or some re-education needed on my part...
