The thingI hit very early was wanting to add a command lime option to my script to set the logging level. I'd have liked to be able to add --log=INFO/DEBUG/... but to do that I seem to need to write my own mapping between level names and numbers. A simple example of how to tie command line options to logging config would be a great addition to the documentation. Oh? import * from logger # change some details to avoid this basicConfig( level= eval( opt.loglevel )

level = getattr(logging, opt.logLevel)

or

level = logging._levelNames[opt.logLevel]
