Research direction

The issue asks whether Python code can log to a systemd journal namespace, possibly through the _NAMESPACE keyword variable. No repository files, tests, or entry points are named; first determine whether the current wrappers expose journal namespace support and what systemd requires. Done means documenting or implementing a confirmed way to target a specific namespace.

Description

Hello there,

Recently systemd guys added the namespace feature, I want to log to a specific journal namespace inside my Python code, How can I achieve this behaviour? Can I do this without waiting for the future updates by, like using the _NAMESPACE keyword variable? or any other way?

Thanks,
Bahram
