Python logging duplicate log entries

I have a json config file and to register the custom logger inside of it, i do the following

logging.config.dictConfig(config)  
myLogger = logging.getLogger("myCustomLogger") 

When I debug, I see that the first code line above calls getLogger on the logger object and registers a console handler with it. I need a handle to the same logger object and thus, I call getLogger again which I think registers the same handler again.

when I log, the same log entry gets written twice on console.

I don't see a way to get a handle of logger object from logging.config.dictConfig.

The strange thing that I observed while debugging is that when the break point goes past the second line and I check the number of handlers associated with myLogger, it is only 1 handler. This is how I check this on python console that comes with pydev eclipse plugin

myLogger.handlers[1]

It gives me an error saying index doesn't exist.

 myLogger.handlers[0] works fine

Pretty brand new to python, so out of ideas at this point. Does anyone know how to get around this problem ?

EDIT:

Here is the dict config json file

{
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": true,

    "formatters": {
        "custom": {
            "format": "%(asctime)s %(levelname)s [%(applicationName)s,%(applicationState)s] %(message)s"
        }

    },

    "handlers": {
        "console": {
            "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
            "level": "INFO",
            "formatter": "custom"
        }
    },

    "root": {
        "level": "INFO",
        "handlers": ["console"]
    },

    "loggers": {
        "myCustomLogger": {
            "level": "INFO",
            "handlers": ["console"],
            "propagate": "false"
        }
    }
}
