TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

Because logging.Formatter is an old style class (on py26 at least) calling super(Formatter)[1] doesn't work.

The above patch makes logsna.Formatter work in python2.6

Thanks a lot. I've added the code and released a new version of logsna 1.2
