The reason is that log takes an *int* as first argument that defines the
logging level. You gave a string. So There is definitely a reason for it to be
incorrect.
That's not a reason, that's just what currently happens. I know it doesn't
work, and I know why, I went and checked the code. But there's no fundamental
reason why you couldn't use a level *name* instead of a level code. And indeed,
in most parts of logging you can (including but not limited to the
configuration of handlers and loggers)
You don't neeed to check the code for that ! It is written in the
documentation. The logging module designer choose to ask for a level,
not a level name, possibly because 2 different levels can have the same
name.
the field handlers must be defined even if empty.
Ah, interesting, I didn't think it could be defined as empty.
Which makes the requirement to have an empty ``handler`` completely
nonsensical, doesn't it?
'completeley nonsensical' is overstating. It make sense to state that
your handler list is empty, when it is empty. Having no field at all
could possibly mean the same, but it's often better that have one
consisten way to interface with a module.
