Let's plan a cmdline argument then. Should we go for -L<level> much like -W<warning>? Or -x logging for setting a default value of debug or info?
Per python specification, -x is implementation dependent. I'll advocate for -L. I think the same concerns as -W are relevant for all python implementations, and it gives more flexibility in terms of log level. Next question: Should -x dev include it? If it was python day-1, I would say yes. My issue is the double inclusion of stream handlers in case the logging was bootstrapped already. So -x dev probably shouldn't include it.
