[issue21245] Logging Logger.exception documentation

[Cameron Lee]

New submission from Cameron Lee:

The documentation doesn't indicate that the Logger.exception method can accept 
kwargs like the other logging methods (Logger.debug, Logger.info, etc...) such 
as exc_info, stack_info, and extra.

https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.exception

The method signature is documented as: 

Logger.exception(msg, *args)

It should be:

Logger.exception(msg, *args, **kwargs)

It appears that this functionality was added in between Python 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 
(http://bugs.python.org/issue15541) but that the documentation was never 
changed for the newer versions.

[issue21245] Logging Logger.exception documentation

Cameron Lee added the comment:

Are you sure that Python 3.2 and Python 3.3 don't need updated documentation? I 
don't know for sure if these two version have the code change or not but the 
http://bugs.python.org/issue15541 seems to indicate that 3.2 at least does.

Thanks for the amazing response!
