Hey Sahar, the logging functions are named after the level or severity of the events they are used to track. They are debug,info,warning..... So, among that DEBUG is used to find out the detailed information, typically of interest only when diagnosing problems.

Hey Afrid, :) Thanks.

What would be different if I saved my file on another level? and how can I understand the level of a log text or a log file?

Logging provides a set of convenience functions for simple logging usage. These are debug(), info(), warning(), error() and critical(). Always use Python Doc it is a really great place to grasp every details. https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html
