The logfile format as specified in the documentation fo the 
logging-module. And due to some restrictions in the way how this 
instantiates declared logging-handlers, you need to set your own class 
into logging.handlers:

import logging.handlers as h

class MyHandler(...):
     ...


h.MyHandler = MyHandler


# now you can load the config.
