Issue with notifiers import (Notification Handler)

[subhamagrawal1]

Describe the bug
The import of NotificationHandler from notifiers.logging is blocking my code, the entire script is stuck on that part and if i do Ctrl + C then the script gets killed with stacktrace showing that it is stuck in that line, if i comment it out from imports all works well.

File "server.py", line 10, in
from notifiers.logging import NotificationHandler

To Reproduce

Expected behavior
Import the library as soon as possible and not block the execution of the code.

Additional context
Python version: 3.8
OS: Ubuntu 20.04

This seems unrelated to notifiers and very much related to the logging module. Can you show your code on how you call from notifiers.logging import NotificationHandler?
Also, do you have issues when using other logging handlers?
