fwiw Python's logging module is a port of a very old log4j version (think 2000 vintage) and is already too complicated with unnecessary abstractions and features, yet is also physically incapable of commonly needed features (like scoping logging, buffering logs for errors, selecting which formatting type to use etc.) ... like many Python libraries from that time period when top Python brass was imitating Java heavily, it's really quite bad but also "the standard".
