Agreed. One thing that, in my opinion, ought to be added to the docs is sample code to log uncaught exceptions using an excepthook, with correctly formatted traceback.

Another thing I always do is to define a custom log level named 'message', which is always logged. Basically it's logging.FATAL + 1, but with a friendlier label. Would be a nice enhancement of the logging module IMHO.
