After a bit of frustration, I have remote logging over an execnet
channel working, with no changes to the py.execnet code itself to
support this. I had to resort to a nasty trick in order to get the
channel to send and receive the logging.LogRecord objects. I think this
could be made a lot cleaner if py.execnet were tweaked to allow defining
a dictionary of namespaces to use when deserializing objects coming over
a channel. If there is any interest in this by the py lib maintainers,
I'll go ahead and fork the code using bitbucket, add this capability in
(probably as a new method on the channel object) and issue a pull
notification.

Anyway, attached is a simple demo script that shows the ExecNetHandler
logging handler in action. I'd love to hear feedback on this.
