On my Python projects i like to use the logger.exception() method without any other message. 

I'm forced to send an empty string on every call.
logger.exception('')

It would be nice the exception method have the expected parameter "msg" with an default value ('').

Sorry, I don't think this change is a good idea. It's not clear what the value is in logging exceptions with no message.
