The SysLogHandler class supports sending logging messages to a
remote or local Unix syslog.
- 
  | class SysLogHandler( | [address[, facility]]) |  
 
- 
Returns a new instance of the SysLogHandler class intended to
communicate with a remote Unix machine whose address is given by
address in the form of a (host, port)tuple.  If address is not specified,('localhost', 514)is
used.  The address is used to open a UDP socket.  If facility is
not specified, LOG_USER is used.
- 
Closes the socket to the remote host.
- 
The record is formatted, and then sent to the syslog server. If
exception information is present, it is not sent to the server.
- 
  | encodePriority( | facility, priority) |  
 
- 
Encodes the facility and priority into an integer. You can pass in strings
or integers - if strings are passed, internal mapping dictionaries are used
to convert them to integers.
