Because  of the  simplicity of  the syslog  protocol, you  can  just use
UDPServer with  a protocol derived from DatagramProtocol.  You just need
to overload datagramReceived to do  something sensible with the log line
received.

In short:

class SyslogInput(protocol.DatagramProtocol):

      def datagramReceived(self, data):
          print "I have received %r" % data

service = internet.UDPServer(514, SyslogInput())
