@ -417,7 +417,7 @@ A standard package for writing logs called \module{logging} has been
added to Python 2.3. It provides a powerful and flexible way for
components to generate logging output which can then be filtered and
processed in various ways. A standard configuration file format can
be used to control the logging behaviour of a program. Python comes
