Is it possible to print different levels to different streams using the logging module?

I believe you have to write a custom filter:

import logging
import sys

from logging import NOTSET

class LevelFilter:
    def __init__(self, min=NOTSET, max=NOTSET):
        self.min = min
        self.max = max
    def filter(self, record):
        if self.min != NOTSET and record.levelno < self.min:
            return False
        if self.max != NOTSET and record.levelno > self.max:
            return False
        return True

out = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
format_out = logging.Formatter("[via stdout] %(levelname)s: %(message)s")
out.setFormatter(format_out)
out.addFilter(LevelFilter(max=logging.INFO))

err = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stderr)
format_err = logging.Formatter("[via stderr] %(levelname)s: %(message)s")
err.setFormatter(format_err)
err.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.addHandler(out)
logger.addHandler(err)

logger.info("foo")
logger.warn("bar")
