Change log level dynamically from asyncio outside module - python-asyncio

Question

I need to dynamically change log level without reloading any modules. For this, I am using a combination of asyncio and multiprocessing (both for the bigger program that I am writing).
log_config.py
def setupLogging(log_level=None): # load custom logger
with open(os.path.join(LOG_PATH,'log_config.yaml'), 'rt') as file_:
config = yaml.safe_load(file_.read())
logging.config.dictConfig(config)
logging.Formatter.converter = time.gmtime
if not log_level:
log_level = 'preview'
return logging.getLogger(log_level)
logger=setupLogging() # global var that needs dynamic updation
async def logger_changes(): # socket listener that changes the logger object
global logger
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind(('localhost', 9999))
sock.listen()
sock.setblocking(0)
while True:
try:
conn, addr = sock.accept()
data = conn.recv(1024)
conn.send(data)
logger = setupLogging(data.decode('utf8'))
except Exception as e:
pass
await asyncio.sleep(5)
async def logger_handler():
t1 = asyncio.create_task(logger_changes())
await t1
def start_logger():
start_func = asyncio.run(logger_handler())
pLOGGER = Process(name="__startLOGGER__", target=start_logger, daemon=False)
pLOGGER.start()
Main Functionality
import log_config
logger=log_config.logger
async def core_func():
for i in range(10):
logger.debug("sample debug log")
logger.info("sample info log")
logger.warning("Watch out!")
logger.error("Heading for trouble!")
logger.critical("Seriously, do something!")
print("#"*80)
await asyncio.sleep(5)
async def core_func_parent():
t1 = asyncio.create_task(core_func())
await t1
def core_func_handler():
start_func = asyncio.run(core_func_parent())
if __name__=='__main__':
pMODULE = Process(name="__startMODULE__", target=core_func_handler, daemon=False)
pMODULE.start()
Trigger Log Level Change
import socket
server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.connect(('localhost', 9999))
request = "test"
try:
server.send(request.encode('utf8'))
response = server.recv(255).decode('utf8')
print(response)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
server.close()
Steps
Run main functionality python script. Automatically invoked log_config from inside, starts the socket listener and instantiates the logger object
Run trigger log level change that sends a message to the web socket with the updated logger setting
Challenge
Once I run step 1, the logging level is INFO (which is exactly what I want)
But once I run step 2, I am expecting the logging level to change to DEBUG which is not happening.
Any help is appreciated.
