Title: Set an explicit log level for the library.

Not sure if this is typical of Python packages, but I always find it a surprise when I set the log level of a Python application to DEBUG and then all my imported packages begin chattering. It seems more logical to me that packages should set their own explicit log levels so that the basicConfig doesn't propagate.

It is always easy enough for the application developer to explicit set a package's log level if so desired.
