print(math.log(-2))
print(math.log(0))

Above code will generate error.

log(x)/log(y) is same as log(x,y). Check this code.

import math
x=2
y=4
print(math.log(x))              #  0.6931471805599453
print(math.log(y))              #  1.3862943611198906
print(math.log(x,y))            # 0.5
print(math.log(x)/math.log(y))  # 0.5
