[New-bugs-announce] [issue6958] Add Python command line flags to configure logging

[Thomas Heller]

New submission from Thomas Heller <theller at ctypes.org>:

I want the Python executable to have command line flags which allow
simple configuration of the logging module.  Use cases are to run
applications/scripts (which use libraries that use logging calls) with
different logging output without having to edit (ugly) logging config files.

The attached patch demonstrates the idea; it allows to run 'python -l
<options> ...' and passes <options> to a new function
logging._parse_python_options(<options>).
