from netlog import Client
client = Client('127.0.0.1', 5010, 'logname')
client.send('qwe asd')
client.close()              # or del client

Params:

host - host, where is log server runned
port - tcp port for connect
filename - file to write log strings

Features:

put to one log file from many client processes
save in binary format .tar.gz, use zcat and zgrep for read
unlimited size of log string
rotation by date
automatic delete old logs

TODO:

realize rotator and binary logs :)
fetch Ctrl+C and -9 signals for flush before exit
udp transfer (maybe, only after v1.0)
implement logging.handlers.SocketHandler protocol (maybe, only after v1.0)
