Easier way to enable verbose logging

Question

I want to add a debug print statement test, if I enable --verbose from the command line and if I have the following in the script.

logger.info(\

Here's another take on having argparse count the -v option to increase verbosity up two levels from the default WARNING to INFO (-v) to DEBUG (-vv). This does not map to the constants defined by logging but rather calculates the value directly, limiting the input:

print( "Verbosity / loglevel:", args.v )
logging.basicConfig( level=10*(3-max(0,min(args.v,3))) )
logging.debug("debug") # 10
logging.info("info") # 20
logging.warning("warning") # 30 - The default level is WARNING, which means that only events of this level and above will be tracked
logging.error("error") # 40
logging.critical("critical") # 50
