What exactly is hard to use? An example of the minimalist way of
logging:

import logging

logging.warn("This is your %s warning", "first")
#similarly you can call logging.debug(), logging.info() etc.

Perhaps if you can explain what it is about the minimal interface
above which is hard to use or hard to remember, I can give you a more
focused answer.
