logging.basicConfig() and logging.info()?

So in logging.basicConfig() function, Kenneth set level to DEBUG, However, when it came to using to record the location, he did logging.info() which is not the same level! Anyone knows why this works?

The level of messages to capture was set to "DEBUG". This means any message with a value of DEBUG or higher will get printed. As can be seen in the logging levels table:

Level   Numeric value
CRITICAL    50
ERROR       40
WARNING     30
INFO        20
DEBUG       10
NOTSET       0

Since INFO is higher than DEBUG it will be logged.
