Using native Python logging seems to cause Kivy to go into an infinite loop

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
import logging


class MyPaintWidget(FloatLayout):
    def on_touch_down(self, touch):
        # if this is called, this will not exit on close, but instead
        # seem to get stuck in an infinite loop somewhere
        logging.info("informational log stuff")
        print touch

class MyPaintApp(App):
    def build(self):
        m = MyPaintWidget()
        m.add_widget(Label(text="Click me, I dare you.",  size_hint=(None,None), pos_hint={'center_x': .5, 'y': .5}))
        return m


if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyPaintApp().run()
