Extending python log hander, getting "Level not an integer or a valid string"

Question

I am trying to create my own log handler, which extends logging.Handler

import logging
from logging import Handler

class DBHandler(Handler,object):
    model = None
    def __init__(self, model):
        super(DBHandler, self).__init__(self)
        mod = __import__(model)
        components = name.split('.')
        for comp in components[1:]:
            mod = getattr(mod, comp)
        self.model = mod

    def emit(self,record):
        log_entry = self.model(level=record.levelname, message=record.msg)
        log_entry.save()

and this is the log config:

'search_log':{
    'level': 'INFO',
    'class': 'logger.handlers.DBHandler',
    'model': 'logger.models.SearchLog',
    'formatter': 'verbose',
     }

however I am getting the follow error, see stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/home/james/virtualenv/hydrogen/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 443, in execute_from_command_line

    dictConfigClass(config).configure()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 575, in configure
    '%r: %s' % (name, e))
ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'search_log': Level not an integer or a valid string: <logger.handlers.DBHandler object at 0x2df1710>

I have been looking at the python logging source code and cannot figure out what I have done wrong

The problem is in this line:

super(DBHandler, self).__init__(self)

You should not be passing self in if you use super this way. You're passing in self twice, effectively, and the logging module is trying to interpret the 2nd self as a logging level.

NP: easy question, easy answer. But would you mind accepting it as the correct answer?

another quick question, I now keep getting "'module' object has no attribute 'handlers'" any ideas?

Is there a traceback, and does it say logging.handlers somewhere in it? It might be easier to post as a separate question so you can post the traceback and details.

Where is logger.handlers.DBHandler defined?

"Level not an integer or a valid string:'%r%' level
