Python logging typeerror

Question

Could you please help me, whats wrong.

import logging

if (__name__ == "__main__"):
    logging.basicConfig(format='[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s::%(module)s::%(funcName)s() %(message)s', level=logging.DEBUG)
    logging.INFO("test")

And I can't run it, I've got an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/htfuws/Programming/Python/just-kidding/main.py", line 5, in 
    logging.INFO("test")
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

Thank you very much.

Is this the whole code?

logging.INFO denotes an integer constant with value of 20

INFO Confirmation that things are working as expected.

What you need is logging.info

logging.info("test")

You are trying to call logging.INFO, which is an integer constant denoting one of the pre-defined logging levels:

>>> import logging
>>> logging.INFO
20
>>> type(logging.INFO)
<type 'int'>

You probably wanted to use the logging.info() function (note, all lowercase) instead:

Logs a message with level INFO on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug().

And you did not notice the CAPS LOCK either, by the looks of it. :-P (And sorry, you can only mark one answer as accepted, thanks for the brief acceptance though!)
