I got the code setup, however, I still get an error for my custom log
level.

############################### Python code

import sys, logging

# log levels
CRITICAL = 50
ERROR = 40
WARNING = 30
USERINFO =25 # my custom log level
INFO = 20
DEBUG  = 10

# define the range
LEVEL_RANGE = range(DEBUG, CRITICAL +1)

# level names

log_levels = {

    CRITICAL : 'critical',
    ERROR : 'error',
    WARNING : 'warning',
    USERINFO : 'userinfo',
    INFO : 'info',
    DEBUG : 'debug',

    }

# associate names with our levels.
for lvl in log_levels.keys():
    logging.addLevelName(lvl, log_levels[lvl])



# setup a log instance
logger = logging.getLogger('myLog')
logger.setLevel(CRITICAL)
hdlr = logging.StreamHandler()
hdlr.setLevel(CRITICAL)
logger.addHandler(hdlr)

# give it a try
print 'write logs'
logger.critical('this a critical log message')
logger.userinfo('this is a userinfo log message')   #call custom log
level

I would love to know what I am doing wrong. Thanks again for your
help, it is really appreciated.
