But that's exactly what I'm saying. I want to initialize the logging
module, and the -q and -v options of setup.py do not help at all, since
they only deal with distutil's and unittest's logging.

Therefore I want to add a *new* option (either to setup.py or to the
"test" command) that initializes the logging module. My question is: how
do I do that?

Best,
