No.  Can you be more specific?  All the documentation I've found for
the syslog module is for _generating_ log entries (it's a wrapper for
the Unix syslog library).

That's not what the OP asked about.

The OP asked about parsing syslog files, not generating syslog file
entries.

Parsing syslog files is not a well-defined problem.  The format of a
syslog file depends on which system log daemon you're running and now
it's configured.

Can syslog module parsing syslog messages? I give you example for better
explain this matter; I can parse perl module(
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Parse-Syslog/lib/Parse/Syslog.pm). I obtained
host,program,message text. I want to do them with python.

i know literally nothing about syslogs, but a google search for
"python syslog parser" shows that some people have had success using
the pyparsing module:

	parse::syslog is not the same as sys::syslog 

	Python's syslog module does what sys::syslog does -- it /writes/
syslog data, it does NOT read it.
