This requirement is already met by the standard logging module, isn't it?
The standard logging module appears to be even better suited because it 
is even independent on pyplusplus whereas _logging_ is part of 
pyplusplus and cannot be used by pygccxml.

Granted. But your requirement doesn't specify where this place should be 
located, so this point would also be met if you put the configuration in 
the main __init__.py file, for example.

Sorry, my question was not what messages does pygccxml output but what 
mechanism does it use to output the messages? (because it cannot use the 
_logging_ module as this one is part of pyplusplus and pygccxml is 
supposed to be independent of pyplusplus)
