	As I read the documentation, the address is supposed to be the NETWORK
address of the machine to receive the log messages...

https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#sysloghandler

>#sys_handler.encodePriority(SysLogHandler.LOG_USER, SysLogHandler.LOG_ALERT)

>sys_handler.setFormatter(syslog_format)
>root_logger.addHandler(sys_handler)
>
>logging.critical("This is a test")
>logging.error("This is a test error")
>logging.info("Still a test")
>logging.debug("Testy test")
