I am writing an application that will do the necessary logging. However I want the level of logging to be deciced by a value in a config file. Like the following:
loglevel = WARNING But I can't find a function that does this. The reverse is possible with logging.getLevelName. The documentation also states this: Changed in version 3.4: In Python versions earlier than 3.4, this function could also be passed a text level, and would return the corresponding numeric value of the level. This undocumented behaviour was considered a mistake, and was removed in Python 3.4, but reinstated in 3.4.2 due to retain backward compatibility. So what is the supposed correct way to handle this? Preferably one that works when additional levels have been introduced. -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
