There is probably a better way, I'm not too familiar with the more 
advanced logging, but off the top of my head I'd suggest subclassing the 
Handler classes that you're interested in and overriding the Handle method 
(I think - you can check the source to be sure) and if the type of message 
is exception then just skip handling it.

Alternatively, you could simply create a different logger, e.g.

exc_logger = logging.getLogger('mything.exceptions')


And use that to log exceptions.

Oh hai - as I was reading the documentation, look what I found:

http://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#filter

Methinks that should do exactly what you want.

HTH,
