[New-bugs-announce] [issue43858] Provide method to get list of logging level names

[Andy Lowry]

New submission from Andy Lowry <andrew at nglowry.com>:

It would be useful to have something like a `getLevelNames` method to return the current list of level names, ordered by priority.

This currently appears to be available only by accessing a private member, like `_levelToName` or `_nameToLevel`.

This functionality is useful, for example, in populating a `choices` list for an `argparse` option to allow a user to select a logging level when launching a program from a command line.
