Wow. I never realized you could do that. Apparently I'm not the only one.

I think it is mainly a problem with the documentation. My personal 
experience: I found that on the top-level logging module documentation 
there's about 2.5 pages of text that seems to go on and on in much more 
detail than I wanted for a simple use case. So I look for an example. 
Aha! There's a "basic example" page. But the "basic example" given in 
the docs has 7 lines of setup before I can even add something to the 
log. I always assumed that most of that was necessary.

I personally have found the logging module very useful when I have used 
it. Now that I know how easy it is to get access to the root logger I'll 
use it a lot more!
