You set le level of your handler, but did not set the level of the
logger itself.
Replace file.setLevel(logging.INFO) by
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)
Log events are matched versus the logger level 1st, then the handler
level (if applicable). Most of the time you don't need to tune your
handler levels.
