In this case, I suggest keeping it firmly in mind that logging.critical() == sending an email. In the case where you really want to know about things at this log level, and you aren't going to get a huge amount of mail (say since the application has exited directly after), it works very well in practice.

When using SMTPHandler it is also very useful to customize the subject, eg. you can put level name of logged message: class _MySMTPHandler(logging.handlers.SMTPHandler): def getSubject(self, record): from system import contextInfo return '%s %s' % (record.levelname, str(contextInfo())) Installing my own exception handler is very useful, I haven’t known how to do it, thanks!

At least, not in something like web software. One minor bug means your mail server no longer works. I’ve never seen email from a logger *not* be a huge mistake.
