.. method:: Handler.handleError(record)
This method should be called from handlers when an exception is encountered
during an :meth:`emit` call. By default it does nothing, which means that
exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly wanted for a logging

more interested in application errors. You could, however, replace this with a
custom handler if you wish. The specified record is the one which was being
processed when the exception occurred.
