Yes, once I put

logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout, level=logging.DEBUG)

in my main(), I got what I thought I'd get in the first place. All logging messages. But I can see Antoine's point: if we use this in the stdlib, you don't want that default. I think that logging events (context) have to come into this; you can't do it with just severity alone. I'd expect to have different settings, by default, for main and for http.client, for instance.
