Why not allow logging.Formatter to take a callable, which would in

Therefore, you could write:
logging.Formatter("{asctime} - {name} - {level} - {msg}".format)
and then:
logging.critical(name="Python", msg="Buildbots are down")
All this without having to learn about a separate "compatibility
wrapper object".
It's a nice idea -- but I think it's better for the wrapper (whatever
form it takes) to support __mod__ so that logging.Formatter (and
everything else) doesn't need to be modified to be able to know about
how to use both callables and "%"ables.
Is it possible for a C function like str.format to have other methods
defined on its function type?
