Logs a message with level *level* on the root logger. The other arguments are
interpreted as for :func:`debug`.
- .. note:: The above module-level functions which delegate to the root
- logger should *not* be used in threads, in versions of Python earlier
- than 2.7.1 and 3.2, unless at least one handler has been added to the
- root logger *before* the threads are started. These convenience functions
- call :func:`basicConfig` to ensure that at least one handler is
- available; in earlier versions of Python, this can (under rare
- circumstances) lead to handlers being added multiple times to the root
- logger, which can in turn lead to multiple messages for the same event.
