Lambda Python Log Level basicConfig needs special initialisation

[alexiswl]

Python Lambda Logger is a little odd

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

logger.info("Foo")

Won't print 'foo' to the cloudwatch logs,

This stack overflow answer explains it a little more

From this stack overflow answer on the same thread, we see the comment that since python 3.8 we can just use the force=True on basicConfig.

From https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.basicConfig:

This function does nothing if the root logger already has handlers configured, unless the keyword argument force is set to True.

So action is to set force as 'true' to logging.basicConfig.

We should probably also use format='%(asctime)s %(message)s' to provide timestamps in the cloudwatch logs of when logs were printed
