title: stackdriver logging client library missing severity with python
body: <p>i would like to send more expressive log entries to stackdriver logging from my app engine standard python3 app.
  By following the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/setup/python" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official documentation</a> i was able to send my logs to stackdriver and it seems that the timestamp is parsed correctly.</p>
  
  <p>But i'm missing the severity levels. In addition i see no way to link logs for a certain request together to a operation. Something that the java logging seems to be doing out of the box.</p>
  
  <p>For reference here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-python3 prettyprint-override"><code>import logging
  import os
  
  from flask import Flask
  from google.cloud import logging as glog
  
  app = Flask(__name__)
  log_client = glog.Client(os.getenv('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT'))
  # Attaches a Google Stackdriver logging handler to the root logger
  log_client.setup_logging()
  
  
  @app.route('/_ah/push-handlers/cloudbuild', methods=['POST'])
  def pubsub_push_handle():
  
      logging.info("stdlib info")
      logging.warning("stdlib warn")
      logging.error("stdlib error")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>logs resulting in stackdriver:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9XNlw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9XNlw.png" alt="logs in stackdriver"></a></p>
  
  <p>As you can see the timestamps and message are available while the severity is strangely missing and it gets classified as 'Any'</p>
  
  <p>Can someone point me in the right direction or is this level of incorporation not yet available?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time!
  Carsten</p>
