verbosity is varying levels of output. management commands output to stdout directly, which is different from logging.
I would suggest you look at the implementation of the included django management commands <https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/core/management/commands> and see how they handle verbosity settings. For example, makemigrations <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/commands/makemigrations.py#L173-L180> has different levels of output when you search for *verbosity* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
