When one is reading the description of logging.config.fileConfig()
at http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/logging.config.html#logging.config.fileConfig not immediately apparent what the "configparser-format file" should contain (i.e. the naming convention for sections, and what keys mean what.)

This is all nicely described at http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/logging.config.html#configuration-file-format but personal experience shows that users like me hit Page Down a few times and give up before they reach that part (and also they do not think to read the outline in the sidebar).

It would be nice if there was a direct link, like in the attached patch.
