I am trying to port one of my CPython scripts to Jython and need the syslog module.  The included patch is my attempt at implementing it.

One thing to keep in mind is that the CPython syslog module uses UNIX domain sockets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket) to communicate with the syslog daemon.  Since domain sockets are not implemented on systems other than UNIX, Java does not support them.  Therefore, this module communicates with the syslog daemon via UDP.

In order to use this module, the local syslog daemon must be listening to UDP port 514.  This can be done by starting syslogd with the '-r' switch.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Matt
