Hi,

basicConfig will configure the *root* logger, the parent of all loggers. 
You need to set it to DEBUG, otherwise no DEBUG logs will be displayed.

However you can set levels to loggers independently, and you simply need 
to configure the third party logger to whatever level you want.

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger("yourthirdpartyloggername").setLevel(logging.INFO)
