Python Logging: How to pass logging level as an argument

Question

How can we pass logging level as an argument?

For example:

level1 = 'DEBUG'
level1lower = level1.lower()
logger.setLevel(logging.level1)
logger.level1lower('Some messages passed for logging's)

This is the closest representation of my problem coz I want to write one function that would take logging levels as argument.

Use logger.log instead of the methods that supply an implicit log level. You'll have to supply the integer logging level, though.

# Equivalent to logger.debug(msg)
level1 = 'DEBUG'
logger.log(getattr(logging, level1),  # Convert DEBUG to 10
           msg)
