Reading the rest of your mail let me understand what you meant.

Thank you for that snippet. That means, that the root-logger does
inherit
EVERY message (if it fits to the level and isn't filtered) and the
inheritage chain is build by the chosen logger names, e.g.
messages to logging.getLogger('tree.leave') would also show up in
logging.getLogger('tree') automatically?

If this is true, how can I avoid this "bubbling up" if I would like
to?
(You see, that's a new question, but I want to take the chance to get
the answers from you personally ;-)

Hope not to bother.
