The logging module in Python 2.6 has started to use the __all__ method.
 However it does not list all the symbols that are described in the
documentation.  Most notably the getLogger function is not in the
__all__ list, but there are others like addLevelName, getLoggerClass,
setLoggerClass, ...

This does break code that does "from logging import *" which suddenly
can't use getLogger etc anymore.

The addition of __all__ was made by raymond.hettinger in r60851. 'from
xxx import *' is not a recommended style, but irregardless of that
__all__ certainly should list all of the public APIs.

Fix checked in to trunk, release26-maint and py3k.
