Just a note about append vs write mode. Change filemode to "w" if you would like it to replace log file. I also had to comment out the stream. Then using logging.info() was outputting to file specified.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    LOG_FORMAT = '%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s ==> %(message)s'
    logging.basicConfig(
        level=logging.INFO,
        filename="logfile",
        filemode="w",
        format=LOG_FORMAT
        #stream=sys.stdout
    )
