I don't know about "official", but another way of doing this is to
pickle just the LogRecord's __dict__ and send that over the wire. The
logging package contains a function makeLogRecord(d) where d is a
dict.

This is the approach used by the examples in the library documentation
which pickle events for sending across a network:

http://docs.python.org/howto/logging-cookbook.html#sending-and-receiving-logging-events-across-a-network

The built-in SocketHandler pickles the LogRecord's __dict__ rather
than the LogRecord itself, precisely because of the improved
interoperability over pickling the instance directly.
