[New-bugs-announce] [issue6314] logging.basicConfig(level='DEBUG', ...

[alexl]

New submission from alexl <alex_lukanin at mail.ru>:

The following code runs w/o exceptions, but log file is empty:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level='DEBUG', filename='log.txt')
logging.info('Oh hi!')

To avoid such silent error, basicConfig must either throw exception on 
invalid level parameter, or accept string values.
