[Alex Walters]

Pypiwin32 exists to allow pywin32 to be installed through pip (thanks to
Glyph and the Twisted project for supporting that)

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
> 
> This package provides an additional log handler for Python's standard
logging
> package (PEP 282). This handler will write log events to a log file which
is
> rotated when the log file reaches a certain size.  Multiple processes can
> safely write to the same log file concurrently. Rotated logs can be
gzipped
> if desired. Windows and POSIX systems are supported.  An optional threaded
> queue logging handler is provided to perform logging in the background.
> 
> This is a fork of Lowell Alleman's ConcurrentLogHandler 0.9.1 with
additional
> enhancements:
> 
> * Renamed package to `concurrent_log_handler`
> * Provide `use_gzip` option to compress rotated logs
> * Support for Windows
>   * Note: PyWin32 is required on Windows, but can't be installed as an
>     automatic dependency because it's not currently installable through
pip.
> * Fix deadlocking problem with ConcurrentLogHandler under newer Python
> * More secure generation of random numbers for temporary filenames
> * Change the name of the lockfile to have .__ in front of it (hide it on
Posix)
> * Provide a QueueListener / QueueHandler implementation for
>   handling log events in a background thread. Optional: requires Python 3.
