import logging
logging.warn("Oh! No!")
logging.basicConfig(filename = "config.log", level = logging.DEBUG)
name = input("Type in your name:" )
logging.info("The user's name is ".format(name))
Im trying to log the typed in name but the file "config.log" is not being created, i bet if that line of my code is executing as intended. What should I do. Want to run this simple code to grasp the logging concept
