#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import logging
import sys

class LessThenFilter(logging.Filter):
    def __init__(self, level):
        self._level = level
        logging.Filter.__init__(self)

    def filter(self, rec):
        return rec.levelno < self._level

log = logging.getLogger()
log.setLevel(logging.NOTSET)

sh_out = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
sh_out.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
sh_out.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(levelname)s: %(message)s'))
sh_out.addFilter(LessThenFilter(logging.WARNING))
log.addHandler(sh_out)

sh_err = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stderr)
sh_err.setLevel(logging.WARNING)
sh_err.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(levelname)s: %(message)s'))
log.addHandler(sh_err)

logging.critical('x')
logging.error('x')
logging.warning('x')
logging.info('x')
logging.debug('x')
