Works for me, too:

swails@batman ~ $ python2.6 mylogging.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mylogging.py", line 24, in <module>
    foo  # Die with uncaught NameError.
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
swails@batman ~ $ sudo tail /var/log/messages 
...
Jul 23 16:02:30 batman INFO:started logging [mylogging]
Jul 23 16:02:30 batman INFO:installing error handler [mylogging]
Jul 23 16:02:30 batman ERROR:Uncaught <type 'exceptions.NameError'>: name 'foo' is not defined [mylogging]

I tried it with python2.2 through python2.7 (python 2.2 and earlier did not have the logging module).

I'm not sure how the "mylogger" variable is getting set to None in your my_error_handler callback, but I don't see how that can possibly be happening with the provided code...

All the best,
Jason
