Pros

Almost every feature you could want from logging package is there

Cons

Docs are not complete
Config files are a little bit hard to comprehend
- An alternate configuration mechanism is provided by the ZConfig package (PyPI). (Note ZConfig is not a small package to pull in.)
API uses camelCase (goes against PEP8 recommendation and most of the stdlib)
Rather slow considering the large number of function calls performed internally to check which handler to use
Doesn't have runtime scoping (i.e., log messages handled based on the call stack)
Difficult to extend log records
Difficult to add general context to log messages (e.g., add the request URL to all logging messages during the request)
By default it does nothing; basicConfig makes it do something but makes it hard to tweak logging.
filters are an abstract class instead of callables
Thread-local handlers aren't easy to setup
