@ -2266,9 +2266,9 @@ The script just arranges to decorate ``foo`` with a decorator which will do the
conditional logging that's required. The decorator takes a logger as a parameter
and attaches a memory handler for the duration of the call to the decorated
function. The decorator can be additionally parameterised using a target handler,
a level at which flushing should occur, and a capacity for the buffer. These
default to a :class:`~logging.StreamHandler` which writes to ``sys.stderr``,
``logging.ERROR`` and ``100`` respectively.
