.. function:: getLevelName(level)
Returns the textual representation of logging level *level*. If the level is one
of the predefined levels :const:`CRITICAL`, :const:`ERROR`, :const:`WARNING`,
:const:`INFO` or :const:`DEBUG` then you get the corresponding string. If you
have associated levels with names using :func:`addLevelName` then the name you
have associated with *level* is returned. If a numeric value corresponding to one
of the defined levels is passed in, the corresponding string representation is
returned. Otherwise, the string 'Level %s' % level is returned.
Returns the textual or numeric representation of logging level *level*.
If *level* is one of the predefined levels :const:`CRITICAL`, :const:`ERROR`,

:func:`addLevelName` then the name you have associated with *level* is
returned. If a numeric value corresponding to one of the defined levels is
passed in, the corresponding string representation is returned.
The *level* parameter also accepts a string representation of the level such
as 'INFO'. In such cases, this functions returns the corresponding numeric
value of the level.
If no matching numeric or string value is passed in, the string
'Level %s' % level is returned.
.. note:: Levels are internally integers (as they need to be compared in the
logging logic). This function is used to convert between an integer level
and the level name displayed in the formatted log output by means of the
``%(levelname)s`` format specifier (see :ref:`logrecord-attributes`).
``%(levelname)s`` format specifier (see :ref:`logrecord-attributes`), and
