I agree.

I recently stumbled over this incompatibility while trying to debug
some code a student had translated from C++ into Python. I was about
to open a similar ticket before I saw these messages. I wasted time
trying to figure out why the node never appeared in rxloggerlevel yet
did appear in rosnode list.

I understand that the log4cxx infrastructure is missing from the rospy
logger, and that makes it impractical to fix in C-turtle. But, it
would be good to have similar support for Python nodes eventually
(assuming there is some reasonable way to implement it).

Perhaps this ticket should be converted to an enhancement request
rather than closed as "invalid".
