Determining if root logger is set to DEBUG level in Python?

Question

If I set the logging module to DEBUG with a command line parameter like this:

if (opt[\"log\"] == \"debug\"):
  logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
         


        

Answer 1

logging.getLogger().getEffectiveLevel()

logging.getLogger() without arguments gets the root level logger.
