I tried to setup the same for my scripts with
"logging.config.dictConfig()" without much success, I want to limit
output to stdout to INFO, everything bellow INFO should be sent to
stderr instead.

Any hints?

Here is my configuration:

#+begin_src python
def init_logging(options):
    # TODO: color stderr messages by level if sys.stderr.isatty()
    config = { 'version' : 1,
               'formatters' : { 'stdout' : { 'format' : '%(message)s',
                                             'datefmt' : '', },
                                'stderr' : { 'format' : '%(message)s',
                                             'datefmt' : '', },
                },
               'handlers' : { 'stdout' : { 'class' : 'logging.StreamHandler',
                                           'stream' : 'ext://sys.stdout',
                                           'level' : 'INFO',
                                           'formatter' : 'stdout', },
                              'stderr' : { 'class' : 'logging.StreamHandler', 
                                           'stream' : 'ext://sys.stderr',
                                           'level' : 'WARNING', 
                                           'formatter' : 'stderr', }
                },
               'root' : { 'level' : options.log_level.upper(),
                          'handlers' : ['stdout', 'stderr'],
                },
    }

    logging.config.dictConfig( config )
    return logging.getLogger()
#+end_src

Regards.
