The example is actually right, and the preceding string explains that
example code should be run from the library.

Restart the interpreter to clear the state and execute only the last part:

>>> import logging
>>> log = logging.getLogger('a.b.c')
>>> log.warn("WARN")
No handlers could be found for logger "a.b.c"

Now without restarting execute the following:

>>> log = logging.getLogger('spyderlib.utils.bsdsocket')
>>> log.warn("WARN")
>>>

Does the original example look correct now?

I guess, Paul, that you've overlooked the reference to library, so I
skipped the rest of the quote, because you should agree that library
should not set logging level for itself as it will cancel logging
config may have already occurred at application level.
