Here is a link for example in question:
https://github.com/jango/calculon/blob/master/calculon/calculon.py

Previously, I would pass logger instance from Calculon class to 
_Producer and _Consumer classes. In the current revision, I removed the 
logging completely since I don't feel like it was serving much purpose 
anyway.
