I would suggest that when unit testing, rather than adding StreamHandlers to log
to stderr, that something like TestHandler and Matcher from this post:

This will allow assertion checking of logged messages without resorting to
StringIO, getvalue() etc. If people think it's a good idea, I can add the
TestHandler/Matcher classes to the unit test infrastructure (they wouldn't
become part of the public API, at least until 3.3, but I presume they could be
used in the stdlib unit tests).
Wouldn't it make more sense to add these to test.support? I don't think
we make any guarantees about its API being stable, although I have a
faint recollection of that being debated in the past.
