from x import y

causes creation of module x and binding of the module to sys.modules'x]. 
It then binds name 'y' in the current namespace to the corresponding 
object in x. Functions in general need a reference to the module 
namespace to resolve module-level variables.

To save anything, you must cut the function out of the module and verify 
that it works in isolation. But I presume 'getLogger' refers to other 
stuff in the logging module and would not work in isolation.
