I want to write other modules, and my thinking is that it makes sense for those modules to use the "logger" module to do the logging, if and only if the parent using the other modules is also using the logger module. In other words, I don't want to force someone to use the "logger" module just so they can use my other modules, even if the "logger" module is installed ... but I also want to take advantage of it if I'm using it. Now that I've written that, I'm not sure that makes a whole lot of sense. It seems like I could say, "hey, this person has the 'logger' module available, let's use it!".
Except in unusual cases, where merely importing a modules uses substantial resources, I would say that if it is available, use it.
