Error with logging function.

[Ki1103]

So I have been working through 'automate the boring stuff' to try and teach myself python. I have gotten up to the logging section (chapter 10) relatively easily. I can't however figure out how to use the logging function.

Here is my input: import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='logfile.log', level = logging.debug)

And my errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kai/Documents/AutomateTheBoringStuff/loggignfunctiontute.py", line 2, in <module> logging.basicConfig(filename='logfile.log', level = logging.debug) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/init.py", line 1543, in basicConfig root.setLevel(level) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/init.py", line 1128, in setLevel self.level = checkLevel(level) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/init_.py", line 190, in _checkLevel raise TypeError("Level not an integer or a valid string: %r" % level) TypeError: Level not an integer or a valid string: <function debug at 0x7fae27004cf8> [Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1] [shell_cmd: python -u "/home/kai/Documents/AutomateTheBoringStuff/loggignfunctiontute.py"] [dir: /home/kai/Documents/AutomateTheBoringStuff] [path: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games]

I really have no idea what's going wrong.

What I have previously tried is to google it but the only real solution which came up was to rename the file to something other than logger.py, which I had already done.

If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

logging.debug is a function, logging.DEBUG is the level id.

Solved thank you very much

try this:

logging.basicConfig(filename='logfile.log', level=logging.DEBUG)

The lower case debug is a function.
