The twiddling of warnings is done during import, and the
logfile is set to NullFile.  The code looks like this (including
the indentation level)

import warnings
warnings.showwarning = showwarning
   ....
# Prevent logfile from being erased on reload.  This only works in 
cpython.
try:
     logfile
except NameError:
     logfile = NullFile()
     logerr = sys.stderr


The patch I submitted changes matters so that twiddling
doesn't occur until startLogging is called.

Python 2.3 has a generalized logging framework.
   http://python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/module-logging.html
] New in version 2.3.  This module defines functions and classes
] which implement a flexible error logging system for applications.
