logging.config, AttributeError: type object 'FileHandler' has no attribute 'split'

I am trying to configure my logging using the dictConfig() method. I think I understood the Dictionary Schema Details, but my code still throws an error.

Code:

import logging
import logging.config

verbose_formatter_conf = {
    "format": "%(asctime)-15s %(name)s %(levelname)-9s %(message)s",
}

formatters_dict = {
    "verbose_formatter": verbose_formatter_conf,
}

logfile_handler_conf = {
    "class": logging.FileHandler,
    "level": logging.DEBUG,
    "formatter": "verbose_formatter",
    "filename": "logfile.txt",
    "mode": "w",
    "encoding": "utf-8",
}

handlers_dict = {
    "logfile_handler": logfile_handler_conf,
}

verbose_file_logger_conf = {
    "propagate": True,
    "handlers": ["logfile_handler"]
}

loggers_dict = {
    "verbose_file_logger": verbose_file_logger_conf
}

final_conf = {
    "version": 1,
    "formatters": formatters_dict,
    "handlers": handlers_dict,
    "loggers": loggers_dict,
    "incremental": False,
}

logging.config.dictConfig(final_conf)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

logger.debug("hello")

The error it throws is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\logging\config.py", line 555, in configure
    handler = self.configure_handler(handlers[name])
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\logging\config.py", line 705, in configure_handler
    klass = self.resolve(cname)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\logging\config.py", line 372, in resolve
    name = s.split('.')
AttributeError: type object 'FileHandler' has no attribute 'split'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'logfile_handler'

But I don't understand it. My handler is configured just as the documentation says it should be, I think. Did I oversee something?
