Was your traceback from the snippet you posted? If it was, then the exception (a TypeError) *is* being raised from logging. So I don't understand your question "why doesn't logging throw any exception when it should?", because logging is raising an exception here. To cause logging to *not* raise exceptions, set logging.raiseExceptions to 0 (default is 1). The raiseExceptions variable would normally be set to 0 in a production environment, where you don't want logging-related exceptions to bring an application down.
