Root logger sanity

[martin.spamer at gmail.com]

The following code is challenging my sanity, in my understanding of the documentation this should pass, given that getLogger is supposed to return the root logger and the root logger should be called 'root'.  

https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logger-objects

What am I missing?


from unittest import TestCase
import logging

class LoggingSanityTest(TestCase):

    def test_root_logging_sanity(self):
        assert logging.getLogger() == logging.getLogger('root')
