To log a message using logging you need to refer to the logging module imported. The method to call is the level of the message: logging.info() creates info messages, logging.debug() creates debug messages, etc. The default level set in the basicConfig says any message at that level of severity or greater will be output to the logfile.

So, your code needs to use the proper module reference logging and the requested method .debug(). Add you messages as the argument.

Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!
