It would be nice if the SysLogHandler also accepted an "ident" parameter in line with the syslog.openlog() function. This simply prepends the string passed in as "ident" to each log message which currently needs to be implemented with a log filter which modifies the record.

N.B. I did not add an additional constructor arg - instead, it's a class-level attribute which can be overridden at class or instance level.

That was quick, thanks!
