Thanks for your work on this branch! The code change looks good. Could
you also please add a regression test to ensure we do not regress here
in the future, especially when we move from python2 to python3? Manual
instructions how to test this against a real app would also be good
(afaik there is one with that problem currently available?).

Plus we use the Application object in a (small) number of places in a
logger call so it would be good to know if it crashes everywhere or
just in this particular place and if it crashes in all logger contexts
we need to update that code too.

Cheers,
