opens a UDP socket. To open a TCP socket (for use with the newer syslog
daemons such as rsyslog), specify a value of :const:`socket.SOCK_STREAM`.
+ Note that if your server is not listening on UDP port 514,
+ :class:`SysLogHandler` may appear not to work. In that case, check what
+ address you should be using for a domain socket - it's system dependent.
+ For example, on Linux it's usually "/dev/log" but on OS/X it's
+ "/var/run/syslog". You'll need to check your platform and use the
+ appropriate address (you may need to do this check at runtime if your
+ application needs to run on several platforms). On Windows, you pretty
+ much have to use the UDP option.
