Content
https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.handlers.html https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html Both say: """class logging.StreamHandler(stream=None) Returns a new instance of the StreamHandler class. If stream is specified, the instance will use it for logging output; otherwise, sys.stderr will be used.""" Surely that means from an user perspective that the default is actually `sys.stderr`, not `None`?
