Comment (by darthdragon):
I think these two sentences are what may start the headache:
"By default, the LOGGING setting is merged with Django’s default logging
configuration using the following scheme.
If the disable_existing_loggers key in the LOGGING dictConfig is set to
True (which is the default) then all loggers from the default
configuration will be disabled. ...
Because even after reading it 10 times, if you have never looked to python
logging.config (and I didn't until today, shame on me), you may not
understand that also any loggers that may have been defined before are
also disabled.
And maybe clarifying in "Django’s default logging configuration", that the
default django loggers are added with disable_existing_loggers=False.
