+An example dictionary-based configuration
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Below is an example of a logging configuration dictionary - it's taken from
+the `documentation on the Django project <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/logging/#configuring-logging>`_.
+This dictionary is passed to :func:`~logging.config.dictConfig` to put the configuration into effect::

+        'disable_existing_loggers': True,
+        'formatters': {

+                'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
+            },
+            'simple': {
+                'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
+            },
+        },
+        'filters': {
