Because the Zope logging functionality is really quite poor? Ever asked yourself why it's called "stupid" logging?
It isn't. It's the logging to a file thats called "stupid file log". Thats because it is just one file that events get logged in. It's a rather simple/stupid system. But thats not all that there is to Zopes logging. 1. Peter Bengtsson still haven't said why he doesn't want to use Zopes logging system. 2. And neither have you said what is "poor" about Zopes logging. 3. And unless you want to end up with two different logging systems (which usually is not what you want, since you only end up looking in two places), you would need to use Zopes logging, but replace/extend that one with the relevant parts of python_logging or whatever logging you want.
