One-word logging.basicConfig wrapper (Python recipe) by Denis Barmenkov
ActiveState Code (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576994/)

Every Python logging manual have this code:

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, filename='debug.log',
                    format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s',
                    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

This is a simple function which call it for you. All you need is remember one function name; useful on little scripts.
