# Python Logging References

Use these official Python docs when applying this skill.

## Core Documentation

!!! info "Core documentation"
    - [Logging HOWTO](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html)
    - [Logging Cookbook](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging-cookbook.html)
    - [logging API reference](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html)
    - [logging.config reference](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html)

## dictConfig-Specific

!!! info "dictConfig references"
    - [Dictionary schema details](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging-config-dictschema) for `version`, formatters, handlers, loggers, and root.
    - [`logging.config.dictConfig`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.config.html#logging.config.dictConfig) function reference.

## Practical Notes
- Prefer app-level centralized config with one startup call to `dictConfig`.
- In modules, use `logging.getLogger(__name__)`.
- Avoid calling `basicConfig` in libraries or scattered modules.
