PCPP1 Library Modules Practice Question
You need to configure the logging module to capture logs from multiple modules while ensuring that logs from third-party libraries (e.g., 'urllib3') are only captured at the WARNING level. How do you set this?
Answer choices

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
logging.getLogger('urllib3').setLevel(logging.WARNING)
Why this is correct
This explicitly sets the log level for the specified library logger.
- ✗
logging.config.dictConfig({'urllib3': 'WARNING'})
Why it's wrong here
The dictionary structure requires more specific keys under 'loggers'.
- ✗
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
Why it's wrong here
This sets the global level, not per-library.
- ✗
logging.setLevel('urllib3', logging.WARNING)
Why it's wrong here
There is no such method in the logging module.
