That the default level is less than INFO - if you set that to e.g. 
logging.DEBUG.

However, I think there are a few problems here beside that. For once, 
reading PEP8 might be worth considering.

And the logging-module is written so that setting it up & using it are 
de-coupled. Which you foil here somewhat. What is the above supposed to do?
