Hi,

Currently prewikka use only stderr class. I looked to the current implantation of the log writing and was able to add a [Log syslog] to log to a syslog. But I think that it's a waste of time to add additional class to manage additional log output. In python (2.3) it's possible to use the logging module, that allow both console, File, Syslog, Mail, even NT Event... It should not be a lot of work, ex LogStderr mechanics can be implemented in a Formatter class, log level is the same, logging module allow also multiple log output (as you do with for backend in self._backends:).

Dont know the dev priority, if you want I can give a try. (or if you want to preserve the current log function, i can send you my modules/log/syslog/syslog.py but I like more the idea of the python logging-module)

After that it will be possible to add LML regex, to parse some information about prewikka, Add "_Prewikka Bad Login/Password_" inside prelude-lml should be easy enough. (EVENT_LOGIN_SUCCESSFUL, EVENT_LOGOUT, EVENT_BAD_LOGIN, EVENT_BAD_PASSWORD)

Have a nice day
