Because you misspelled it. First, do a dir() on logging: >>> import logging >>> dir(logging) ['BASIC_FORMAT', 'BufferingFormatter', 'CRITICAL', 'DEBUG', 'ERROR', 'FATAL', 'FileHandler', 'Filter', 'Filterer', 'Formatter', 'Handler', 'INFO', 'LogRecord', 'Logger', 'Manager', 'NOTSET', 'PlaceHolder', 'RootLogger', 'StreamHandler', 'WARN', 'WARNING', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__date__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', '__status__', '__version__', '_acquireLock', '_defaultFormatter', '_handlerList', '_handlers', '_levelNames', '_lock', '_loggerClass', '_releaseLock', '_srcfile', '_startTime', 'addLevelName', 'atexit', 'basicConfig', 'cStringIO', 'codecs', 'critical', 'currentframe', 'debug', 'disable', 'error', 'exception', 'fatal', 'getLevelName', 'getLogger', 'getLoggerClass', 'info', 'log', 'logProcesses', 'logThreads', 'makeLogRecord', 'os', 'raiseExceptions', 'root', 'setLoggerClass', 'shutdown', 'string', 'sys', 'thread', 'threading', 'time', 'traceback', 'types', 'warn', 'warning'] You can now pick any item from this list to further expand with dir(), but notice "handlers" isn't one of them. > I mean, in terms of > designing these modules, how would you go about getting a sub-module > in your name space?
