I'm not sure I'm a "taker", but I did a bit of research and found log4p,
http://log4p.sourceforge.net/

Have you looked at it, and if yes, what's a short reason why it wouldn't
be suitable?  (One of the things I disliked about Zlogger (I believe
that's the correct name) is that it seems to require an error tuple,
based on what I'm reading in
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/LOGGING.txt
I believe that loggers should be more generic.)
