I tested it on master and it's the same as per the original report.
➜ cpython git:(master) cat ../backups/bpo35530_1.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(name='main')
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.error('XXX')
logging.error('ZZZ')
logger.error('XXX')

XXX
ERROR:root:ZZZ
ERROR:main:XXX
root is parent for all logger objects created down the inheritance chain. When
there is no root handler for logger then it resorts to lastResort handler (As
per name called on last resort when there is no handler even for root) whose
format is "%(message)s". Calling logging.error sets the root's handler (like
doing logging.basicConfig). When there is a root with handler then subsequent
logger calls the root's handler but lastResort is not called since it has found
the root handler. I agree with Mark that this could affect downstream and is
very hard to debug when libraries have wrong configuration.
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(name='main')
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.error('XXX')
print("logger parent ", logger.parent) # Root is always the parent by default
print("logger parent handlers ", logger.parent.handlers) # No root handler
since root is not configured which logging error does below
print("logger handler ", logger.handlers) # Empty and no parent (root) handler
so calls lastResort
logging.error('ZZZ') # Sets the root handler
print("logger parent after logging ", logger.parent) # Root is parent
print("logger parent handlers after logging ", logger.parent.handlers) # Root
handler is set
print("logger handler after logging ", logger.handlers) # Empty but has parent
(root) handler so lastResort is not called
logger.error('XXX')
Output :
XXX
logger parent <RootLogger root (WARNING)>
logger parent handlers []
logger handler []
ERROR:root:ZZZ
logger parent after logging <RootLogger root (WARNING)>
logger parent handlers after logging [<StreamHandler <stderr> (NOTSET)>]
logger handler after logging []
ERROR:main:XXX
