Hi,

    I found the problem. I wasn't setting the level on the Handlers. Need to have:

fileHandler.setLevel(level)
consoleHandler.setLevel(level)

Once that was added to the SetLogging() function, it was printing out the correct levels. The rootLogger.setLevel(level) wasn't getting propagated to the Handlers...

     Thanks for all the help!
