write a log with the format RSYSLOG_DebugFormat and you will see the

Sorry, I am very new to (r)syslog and did not find out from where or how to
do that (man logger doesn't mention anything about debug stuff, so I guess
you mean some other means of logging).
if you write a log in rsyslog
*.* /var/log/testlog
it will use the default template format, but you can specify a different one, so
if you log
*.* /var/log/testlog;RSYSLOG_DebugFormat
it will write the log with that specific template format.

the bottom line is that you are sending a log that's not in the correct
format, so the first word is being parsed into a different variable than
%msg% (probably systlogtag)
o.k. but as I did not change any defaults in the logging settings, this
would mean that logging to syslog from Python is broken by default ...
no, it just means you are misunderstanding things in Python.
You were correct with the assumption that the first word of the message
ends up in %syslogtag%. But this is not mentioned in the docs for the
Python SyslogHandler (
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/logging.handlers.html#sysloghandler ),
so in my interpretation it's broken - I will have to check with the
maintainer of the logging module if this is a bug or a feature.
Cheers
