I will be happy to get such help. I haven't grammar checker handy, so as 
I recall I've only checked
spelling once (and possibly not last edition). Sorry to native English 
speakers.

I'm not really sure that these names MUST be equal. Name to use for 
import statement can be __stdlib__
or ever __python_library__ to ensure uniqueness and specific name MUST 
draw attention to this place. But
for logger name this prefix should be as short as possible because it's 
to be displayed, and sometime logger
plus time, level and message text must fit 80 character line...
