Isn't that what logging.basicConfig does?

Allows you to log to either a file or a custom stream, specify your logging format, and sets up the logging level in a single call.

Except that it will only configure the root logger. I was thinking about an api that would return a new logger (or reconfigure one that exists and return it)

Notice that looking at this function code, it wouldn't be too far from what I would like to have. e.g:

create_logger(name, level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stdout, filename=None) -> logger
