title: Configuring child loggers
body: <p>Every time I think I understand the logging module, gremlins come in and change the way it works.  (Ok, I'll admit, that gremlin may be me changing my code.)</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong here?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; ipython
  &gt; import logging
  &gt; log = logging.Logger("base")
  &gt; log.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
  
  &gt; log.critical("Hi")
  Hi
  
  &gt; log2 = log.getChild("ment")
  
  &gt; log2.critical("hi")
  No handlers could be found for logger "base.ment"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could have sworn that in the past, I was able to use child loggers without additional configuration...</p>
