The problem with the logging module is you can configure it to do pretty much anything, which is another way of saying if it's not configured right (perhaps because you're running your application in an environment it wasn't designed for), your output disappears into the ether. I can't tell you how many times I've given up fighting with logging and just done "open("/tmp/x").write("my debugging message\n") when all else failed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
