Thanks for the reply Kent.
I found the problem. It was rather simple actually. I didn't have remote
logging enabled for syslog. Even though I was logging to localhost, for
some reason, it wouldn't work until I gave syslogd a -r at startup. Thanks

I haven't used logging config files, but I don't see anything obviously
wrong here. A couple of ideas to try:
- make sure logging.conf can be found by
print os.path.exists('logging.conf')
- turn on console logging in the config file and see if that works
- try to configure the syslog handler in code instead of in a file, then
translate the successful configuration to a file.
