Re: FileNotFoundError thrown due to file name in file, rather than file itself

However, it strikes me as not immediately obvious that the logging file
must exist at this point.  I can imagine a situation in which I want to
configure a default log file and create it if it missing.

This is what happens usually:
if you open a file with mode `a` or `w`, the file is created
if it does not yet exist.

Thus, a missing log file should not give you the `FileNotFound`
exception.
Look at the exception details: they should tell you what really
was not found (maybe the directory for the logfile).
