I'll take it. I have been (slowly) working on a log4j translation, trying to
stay as close to log4j's API as possible. I'll take a look at zLOG.

That one has not seen any development for ages and I don't believe it is even
functional.
There *is* a log4py out there.
http://www.its4you.at/log4py.php
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36216
I took a quick look at it a while ago and thought it was pretty limited.
Perhaps not though -- I may have been sufferring from a bout of "Not invented
here."

Sounds very similar to log4j. I'll take a look at that too.
Note that the log4j manual that is currently up
(http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html) is for the current release
version. They have an alpha version that cleans up the naming a little bit
mainly, I think, to try to make log4j look a little bit more like the
java.util.logging API.
Actually, log4j's site *used* to have a bunch of other pages up their that
included links to contributed packages and ports of log4k to other languages
(C, C++, Perl, Python, etc).
How about I try to have a PEP together within a week or two, and perhaps a
working base implementation?
