## **app/\__init__.py**
You may be familiar with adding a logging handler to a flask application, with something like the following in
`__init__.py`.

## **app/sendxmpp_handler.py**
python-logging doesn't have a handler for xmpp but the handlers that are available are easy enough to
understand if you read through them in [handlers.py](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/logging/handlers.py){target=_blank}.

Using the available handlers as an example, it did not require a lot of imagination to come up with
SENDXMPPHandler.
