def add_logging_level(levelName, levelNum, methodName=None):
    """
    Comprehensively adds a new logging level to the `logging` module and the
    currently configured logging class.

    `levelName` becomes an attribute of the `logging` module with the value
    `levelNum`. `methodName` becomes a convenience method for both `logging`
    itself and the class returned by `logging.getLoggerClass()` (usually just
    `logging.Logger`). If `methodName` is not specified, `levelName.lower()` is
    used.

    To avoid accidental clobberings of existing attributes, this method will
    raise an `AttributeError` if the level name is already an attribute of the
    `logging` module or if the method name is already present

    Example
    -------
    >>> add_logging_level('TRACE', logging.DEBUG - 5)
    >>> logging.getLogger(__name__).setLevel("TRACE")
    >>> logging.getLogger(__name__).trace('that worked')
    >>> logging.trace('so did this')
    >>> logging.TRACE
    5
