How to write custom python logging handler?

by 
import logging
class ProgressConsoleHandler(logging.StreamHandler):
    """
    A handler class which allows the cursor to stay on
    one line for selected messages
    """
    on_same_line = False
    def emit(self, record):
        try:
            msg = self.format(record)
            stream = self.stream
            same_line = hasattr(record, 'same_line')
            if self.on_same_line and not same_line:
                stream.write(self.terminator)
            stream.write(msg)
            if same_line:
                stream.write('... ')
                self.on_same_line = True
            else:
                stream.write(self.terminator)
                self.on_same_line = False
            self.flush()
        except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
            raise
        except:
            self.handleError(record)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import time
    progress = ProgressConsoleHandler()
    console  = logging.StreamHandler()  

    logger = logging.getLogger('test')
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) 
    logger.addHandler(progress)

    logger.info('test1')
    for i in range(3):
        logger.info('remaining %d seconds', i, extra={'same_line':True})
        time.sleep(1)   
    logger.info('test2')

Notice that only one handler is being registered, and the extra keyword argument to let the handler know it should stay on one line. There is more logic in the emit() method to handle changes between messages that should stay on one line and messages that need to have their own line.
