What is the recommend way to migrate existing code?
I assume using:
import logging logger = logging.getLogger(loggername).
When I look through the Zope HEAD code then you are using e.g. 'zodb.conn' or 'zodb.storage' but also 'Zope' as loggername. Do we have to agree on some common usage of the logger names? E.g. for logging calls in the reST package....better using 'Zope' or 'reST'?

============ zLOG is dead ============
The zLOG package used for logging throughout ZODB, ZEO, and Zope 2 has been declared obsolete. All logging for Zope products will use the logging package from Python's standard library.
The zLOG package still exists in Zope 2 and the separate package for ZODB, but it is now an API shim (or "façade") over the logging package. It is expected to wither away to nothing at some point.
Why should you care? --------------------
This means that the environment variables EVENT_LOG_FILE, EVENT_LOG_SEVERITY, STUPID_LOG_FILE, STUPID_LOG_SEVERITY, and ZSYSLOG are no longer honored for Zope 2.8, ZODB, or ZEO. Zope 2 reads logging configuring from the zope.conf configuration file, and the test.py script for developers reads a log.ini file using the obnoxious configuration syntax provided by the logging package itself.
If you use the ZODB distribution but not the rest of Zope, you probably want to start changing any of your code that uses zLOG to use the logging package. ZODB and ZEO will be changed to use the logging package directly as well to avoid dependence on the API shim.
How can you help? -----------------
If you have some time to contribute to Zope development, the removal of zLOG calls from the ZODB and ZEO packages would be a welcome contribution. I've converted Signals/Signals.py and Zope/Startup/__init__.py, and some modules of ZODB and ZEO already use the logging package directly; these can serve as examples.
