The default handler is created because you are calling the convenience
functions of the logging package: logging.error, etc. If you don't
want the default handler to be created, either
(a) Configure the logging system yourself before any logging call is
made (I'm not sure why you're not doing this - it could be done in
your main script before anything else happens) - or
(b) Make calls on a specific named logger, e.g.
logging.getLogger("logtest2").error("foo"), rather than
logging.error("foo") which is for casual/unsophisticated use only.
