opens a UDP socket. To open a TCP socket (for use with the newer syslog
daemons such as rsyslog), specify a value of :const:`socket.SOCK_STREAM`.
Note that if your server is not listening on UDP port 514,
:class:`SysLogHandler` may appear not to work. In that case, check what
address you should be using for a domain socket - it's system dependent.
For example, on Linux it's usually "/dev/log" but on OS/X it's
"/var/run/syslog". You'll need to check your platform and use the
appropriate address (you may need to do this check at runtime if your
application needs to run on several platforms). On Windows, you pretty
much have to use the UDP option.
