[issue39540] Logging docs don't address the creation of multiple loggers when a hierarchy is provided

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip  added the comment:

That's an internal detail. In fact loggers aren't created for all loggers in 
the hierarchy - PlaceHolder objects are created internally for hierarchy 
ancestors, and converted to loggers if needed. The printout from your linked 
Stack Overflow question shows this.

This is not documented because it's internal implementation detail. How the 
dotted-name hierarchy works is documented.

[issue39540] Logging docs don't address the creation of multiple loggers when a hierarchy is provided

[Alexander McFarlane]

New submission from Alexander McFarlane :

If `logger_name` is a hierarchy format (e.g. `logger_name = 'parent.child'`) 
and the logger name `'parent'` has not been created, the function call 
`logging.getLogger(logger_name)` will create all loggers in the hierarchy (in 
this instance two loggers, `'parent'` and `'parent.child'` will be created)

This is not documented anywhere in the logging documentation. Suggest that this 
is detailed under `logging.getLogger`
