The logging module currently contains some weird-looking code that is there to maintain 1.5.2 compatibility (*). I don't think that's needed any more; neither does Vinay. I propose as a project for someone to clean it up; perhaps compatibility could be maintained with 2.2 but that's probably as far back as it needs to go. Linux distros all come with 2.2 or newer these days. The logging module is currently listed in PEP 291 as requiring compatibility with 1.5.2; my proposal is to remove this or replace it with 2.2 (Vinay even proposed 2.4). (*) I found an example of code testing "if string.find(s, t) != 0", thinking it was a bug attempting to write "if t in s", but which Vinay identified as a 1.5.2 idiom for "if not s.startswith(t)"... -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
