It might work for now, but instantiating a handler in an instance constructor can be an anti-pattern. If you ever create multiple client instances, for example, you would create multiple handlers and add those to the logger (which is essentially persistent for the lifetime of the process), which could result in multiple messages, corrupted output or exceptions (in the general case). It's generally better to declare module-level loggers via logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) or, if better granularity is wanted, loggers with names prefixed by __name__ + '.' - and handler set up should typically be done in one place in such a way as to not inadvertently create handlers multiple times. A common pattern is to just add handlers to the root logger (e.g. the basicConfig() API does this) - other loggers automatically get to use them, under normal circumstances.
