logging doc problem

[James Stroud]

Am I missing something or are the docs for logging hopelessly outdated?

http://docs.python.org/lib/node406.html

For example, quoting the docs

"""
import logging

logging.debug('A debug message')
logging.info('Some information')
logging.warning('A shot across the bows')
"""

And the result is

% /usr/bin/python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 17 2008, 19:35:17)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
py> import logging
py>
py> logging.debug('A debug message')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'debug'


More importantly, do any good docs for logging exist, or is it touch and go?

Probably you have another logging.py and you're importing it instead of
the one in the standard library.
