That is a bit odd. I would have thought that multiple calls to

logging.basicConfig with different parameters would have been acceptable.

So something like
 logging.basicConfig (

filename='example.log',level=logging.DEBUG,

format='%(asctime)s;%(levelname)s:%(message)s',

level=logging.DEBUG)

)

would presumably be accepted?
