✅

The example you link to has:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

you missed the logger definition.

You can either put a self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) in your Generic.__init__() function, or define a global logger right after the import as in the example.

This below should be added to your code

logger=None
def setup():
   logger.debug('put some text')
   return 0

def main():
   global logger
   logger = logging.getLogger('give_some_logger_name')
   logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

   ret = setup()

In your class you are using logger but you have not defined it.
Either set logger like: 

    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

or use logging instead:

    logging.info('Generic on file {} starts at {}'.format(file_path , time.time()))
