I think I'm missing something fairly fundamental then.

I'm using this in a web environment. By default only things of level
ERROR get logged. However, requests can supply a parameter, which
will switch logging to, for example, INFO level.

Thus, in the application, the init() is called per request, based on the
CGI paramaters received.

So, in my test I really need to make the exact same request twice,
except the second time I want to also set that parameter. I then need to
check that there were no messages the first time, and certain ones the
second time.

How can do this?

I suspect there's a philosophical problem approach that I'm not quite
grokking yet, rather than a technical problem.
