If I copy and paste your code and run it, it works as expected creating 
C:\pylogger.log containing

2006-01-02 21:49:21,071 DEBUG A debug message
2006-01-02 21:49:21,071 INFO Some information
2006-01-02 21:49:21,071 WARNING A shot across the bows

This is with Python 2.4.2 on Win2K. What version of Python are you 
using? In versions previous to 2.4, basicConfig() doesn't take keyword 
args. For the Python 2.3 docs see
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-logging.html

and the example here:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/node304.html
