Yes, I definitely need the NUATAQ sheet for Python.

I'm using logging for debugging, because it is pretty straightforward and can be activated for a small section of the module. My modules run long (3,000 lines or so) and finding all those dastardly print statements is a pain, and littering my code with "if debug: print message" clauses. Logging just makes it simple.
