By default, the logger's level is WARNING, because you haven't
explicitly set a level and the level inherited from the parent logger
is WARNING (this is the default value for the root logger level). So if
you add a line before the logger.info() call:

logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) # or you can use logging.DEBUG

Then you should see an entry appear in the NT Event log.
