Works for me, nice find! I'd say: add it to the requirements.

In the current turbogears situation I had disabled all logging, as
there were some database logs that kept appearing and I did not find
how to silence them (and the actual test logs were not shown anyway).
I need to disable that disabling to benefit from pytest-capturelog, so
I'll need to find another solution for the annoying logs. More on that
later...
