[New-bugs-announce] [issue22130] Logging fileConfig behavior does not match documentation

[Brendan Meeder]

New submission from Brendan Meeder:

The 2.7.8 documentation for fileConfig says that for disable_existing_loggers:

"If specified as False, loggers which exist when this call is made are left alone."

This is actually not the case- they are enabled after the call to fileConfig. In particular, the loggers that would be disabled if disable_existing_loggers=True are enabled after the call, regardless of whether they were previously enabled/disabled.
