You can set the level for your logger, e. g.

$ cat loglevels.py
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    filename="activity.log",
    format='%(levelname)s: %(message)s')

mylogger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
mylogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

mylogger.info("my info")
mylogger.debug("my debug message")

otherlogger = logging.getLogger("some.lib")

otherlogger.info("some.lib info")
otherlogger.debug("some.lib debug message")

$ python3 loglevels.py 
$ cat activity.log 
INFO: my info
DEBUG: my debug message
INFO: some.lib info
