Put the following into a file named "repro.py", then type "python repro.py" at your shell.  You'll see ``AttributeError: 'CustomAdapter' object has no attribute 'setLevel'``

import logging logging.basicConfig ()

class CustomAdapter(logging.LoggerAdapter):
    def process(self, msg, kwargs):
        return '[%s] %s' % (self.extra['connid'], msg), kwargs

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) 
adapter = CustomAdapter(logger, {'connid': '1234'}) 
adapter.setLevel (logging.WARN) 
adapter.warning ("Ahoy matey")

The adapter provides only the logging methods such as debug(), info() etc., but not methods to configure the logger (such as setLevel). Just use

adapter.logger.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

I should have been clearer: the problem is that the docs (http://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.LoggerAdapter) say 

In addition to the above, LoggerAdapter supports the following methods of Logger, i.e. debug(), info(), warning(), error(), exception(), critical(), log(), isEnabledFor(), getEffectiveLevel(), setLevel(), hasHandlers(). 

So the code and the docs disagree.

Okay, I see. I can't add the methods to the code (as feature additions aren't allowed in micro releases, and 2.7 is the last 2.x release). So I'll update the documentation.

Thanks!
