The documentation on using logging configuration files (http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#configuring-logging) doesn't mention that the WatchedFileHandler needs to be referenced as "handlers.WatchedFileHandler". This behavior is different from most handlers (like FileHandler) which can be referenced without the package prefix. 

This surprise was experienced on python 2.6.4 on Ubuntu 9.10.
