Note that Loggers should NEVER be instantiated directly, but always through the module-level function logging.getLogger(name). Multiple calls to getLogger with the same name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.\n\nThe name is potentially a period-separated hierarchical value, like foo.bar.baz (though it could also be just plain foo, for example). Loggers that are further down in the hierarchical list are children of loggers higher up in the list. For example, given a logger with a name of foo, loggers with names of foo.bar, foo.bar.baz, and foo.bam are all descendants of foo. In addition, all loggers are descendants of the root logger. The logger name hierarchy is analogous to the Python package hierarchy, and identical to it if you organise your loggers on a per-module basis using the recommended construction logging.getLogger(name). That's because in a module, name is the module's name in the Python package namespace.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nStack (most recent call last):\n\nThis mimics the ``Traceback (most recent call last):`` which is used when\ndisplaying exception frames.\n\nThe third optional keyword argument is *stacklevel*, which defaults to ``1``.\nIf greater than 1, the corresponding number of stack frames are skipped\nwhen computing the line number and function name set in the :class:`LogRecord`\ncreated for the logging event. This can be used in logging helpers so that\nthe function name, filename and line number recorded are not the information\nfor the helper function/method, but rather its caller. The name of this\nparameter mirrors the equivalent one in the :mod:`warnings` module.\n\nThe fourth keyword argument is *extra* which can be used to pass a\ndictionary which is used to populate the :attr:`~object.__dict__` of the\ncreated for the logging event with user-defined attributes.
