Hi, it seems like for some reason I can’t set any logging output handlers in my project’s `settings.py`. Rest seems to be set. Does anyone know what I have to change to get it working?

`settings.py LOGGING section`:

```auto

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'standard': {
            'style': '{',
            'format': '[{asctime}] {message}',
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'default': {
            'level': 'INFO',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'standard',
            'stream': 'ext://sys.stdout',
        },
    },
    'root': {
        'handler': 'logging.NullHandler',
        'level': 'CRITICAL',
    },
    'loggers': {
         'cd_manager': {
             'handler': 'default',
             'level': 'INFO',
             'propagate': False,
         },
         'cd_manager.models': {
             'propagate': True,
         },
         'makepkg': {
             'handler': 'default',
             'level': 'INFO',
             'propagate': False,
         },
         'makepkg.makepkg': {
             'propagate': True,
         }
    }
}

```

`logging_tree.printout()`:

The dict key within loggers is handlers, not handler, and is a list.
