> Setting PYTHONLOGGING to any log level or level name will initialize
logging.basicConfig() with that appropriate level.
This can already be done from the command line through --log=LEVEL, which
sets the logging.loglevel attribute. In the how-to section of the docs,
this is demonstrated in the following example:
# assuming loglevel is bound to the string value obtained from the#
command line argument. Convert to upper case to allow the user to#
specify --log=DEBUG or --log=debugnumeric_level = getattr(logging,
loglevel.upper(), None)if not isinstance(numeric_level, int):
raise ValueError('Invalid log level: %s' %
loglevel)logging.basicConfig(level=numeric_level, ...)
(https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#logging-to-a-file)
Is there a practical reason why the above doesn't work for you?
Otherwise, I see no reason to add a new environment variable that
effectively does the same thing.
