I'm importing a module that is logging information at a warning level. I think that the person who wrote this code is logging at a root level i.e. in the code is just:
import logging
logging.warn("foo")
I've tried the below code but it doesn't work, probably because the logging is sent to root or something.
logging.getLogger(module).setLevel(logging.ERROR)
Is there a way that I could disable this module's specific logging?
There are several things confusing here:
logging.getLogger(module).setLevel(logging.ERROR)
The ‘module’ here should be a string, and is usually the full-qualified name of the module. Ie: package.module.
Depending of the format, the name of the Logger is usually printed in the log. That way you can disable it easily.
For instance, if you have something like:
WARNING [foo.bar.baz] the message
The logger name should be foo.bar.baz.
But, if you think it is the root logger, then you can try:
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger .setLevel(logging.ERROR)
Another thing which can be confusing, is the Python warnings. Take a look at this answer to disable them: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14463362
