Custom logging handler looping continuously

[linuxaddikt]

Hi all,

I'm running into some sort of looping issue attempting to implement logging in my project using a custom handler so I'm seeking for help. I do have some programming experience but I'm pretty new to python so maybe I get this all wrong

As shown below, I get a "RecursionError". I've also attached a copy of my code at the end of this post.

Thanks in advance !

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app.py", line 18, in <module>
    logger.debug('debug message!')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/logging/__init__.py", line 1422, in debug
