why logging re-raise my exception and can't be caught?

Just as a matter of interest, what would your definition of an exception 
handler be, then? Specifically, what's the "except" clause for?

The docs for looging.except should make it explicit that the exception 
will be re-raised.

Of course it might be possible to do something hackish like

     try:
         ...
     except:
         try:
             logging.exception(...)
         except:
             pass

which (although untested) should theoretically allow the catching (for a 
second time) of teh exception reraised by logging.exception().
