You are right, my approach is too complicated and only needed when the OP 
cannot modify the sending script -- which is unlikely.

As a minimal change ensuring that the logging.LogRecord subclass used by the 
OP is a newstyle class in 2.6 with

class LogRecord(logging.LogRecord, object):
    #...

should work, too.
