[issue6958] Add Python command line flags to configure logging

[Marc Abramowitz]

Marc Abramowitz added the comment:

I was just thinking that it would be nice if logging could be configured through environment variables. This would make it easier to have Python applications adhere to the Twelve-Factor methodology around application configuration:

Currently, applications need to handle this themselves, but I wonder if there's value in deciding on a best practice and providing for it at a lower level (the stdlib logging module).
