The syslog module allows to configure via openlog() the facility.

There's one missing feature though, I'd love to have in a new API: a way to read the syslog configuration, and in particular to know where each facility file is located on the system.

e.g.:

  >>> from syslog import get_config, LOG_AUTH
  >>> get_config(LOG_AUTH)
  {'filename': '/var/log/auth.log', some other stuff}

I am not sure how easy it would be, looking at the syslog C API...

I'm assuming that this can go into 2.7 and 3.5 if anybody is prepared to work on a patch.
