Logging from files doesn't work

[Andrew Z]

aha. So the issue is that main.py's __name__ attribute == "__main__" and
test.py is "test1.test".
if i manually assign names:
main.py - >

log = logging.getLogger("MAIN")

test.py - >
log = logging.getLogger("MAIN.test1.test")

then logging is working perfectly well.

This brings me to the question - what is wrong with me file
naming/structure that confuses the logging module? I'm not sure i
really want to have each little file in it's own directory too..

but i'm open for suggestions.
