[Python] Django: how to set log level to INFO or DEBUG

I tried to change the debug level to DEBUG in Django because I want to add some debug messages to my code. It seems to have no effect.

My logging configuration:

LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'simple': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'console':{
'level':'DEBUG',
'class':'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'simple'
},
},
'loggers': {
'django.request':{
'handlers': ['console'],
'propagate': False,
'level': 'DEBUG',
},
},
}


Code:

import logging ; logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.debug("THIS MESSAGE IS NOT SHOWN IN THE LOGS")
logger.warn("THIS ONE IS")


Output on the console:

WARNING:core.handlers:THIS ONE IS


I also have tried setting DEBUG = False and DEBUG = True in my settings file. Any ideas?

Edit: If I set the log level on the logger directly, it works:

import logging ; logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.debug("THIS MESSAGE IS NOT SHOWN IN THE LOGS")


Output:

DEBUG:core.handlers:THIS MESSAGE IS NOT SHOWN IN THE LOGS
WARNING:core.handlers:THIS ONE IS


But: It seems the config file is totally ignored. It prints both statements always even if I set both entries in the config back to ERROR. Is this the correct behaviour or am I still missing something?
