Thanks for the clarification and doc pointers. I saw "lastResort" attribute in 
the code 
but had not fully understood what was going on. I am not certain I really do 
now, but that's ok. That's why we read docs, read and write
code. Eventually it starts making sense.
It appears that there is history to contend with or complications provoked by 
threads. 

I had not yet read the lastResort discussion in the documentation. That's deep 
in the 
advanced tutorial, I was getting tripped up by simple examples that I concocted 
from 
very simple cases, which can be on the fringes of actual usage. I wonder why 
"lastResort" differs from the built-in default. 

I was playing with basicConfig because I wanted to experiment with formatting 
and level,
and I managed to generate messages that seemed unrelated to formating I had 
specified.


For now it appears that after
    import logging

I can add 
    logging.warning('')

and achieve what I want. I get the default format where I expect rather than 
lastResort format.

I prefer the default format that I get from the internal call to basicConfig.
I can imagine the there will be a situation where I want the even simpler
"last resort format".
