I am currently writing an API and an application which uses the API. I have gotten suggestions from people stating that I should perform logging using handlers in the application and use a "logger" object for logging from the API.

In light of the advice I received above, is the following implementation correct?

class test:
    def __init__(self, verbose):
        self.logger = logging.getLogger("test")
        self.logger.setLevel(verbose)

    def do_something(self):
        # do something
        self.logger.log("something")
        # by doing this i get the error message "No handlers could be found for logger "test"

The implementation i had in mind was as follows:

 #!/usr/bin/python

 """ 
 ....
 ....
 create a logger with a handler 
 ....
 ....

 """

 myobject = test()
 try:
     myobject.do_something()
 except SomeError:
     logger.log("cant do something")

Id like to get my basics strong, id be grateful for any help and suggestions for code you might recommend I look up.

Thnkx!
