I've been reading up on logging, and I think I understand what is happening but I do not know how to correct it. I have a file where I want to set up my logger, and then I want my application to use that configured logger, here is my logger.py file:
import logging
import sys
logger = logging.getLogger('mylogger')
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
# create console handler and set level to debug
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# create formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter(
'{levelname} {asctime} {name} {lineno}: {message}', style='{')
# add formatter to ch
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
# add ch to logger
logger.addHandler(ch)
Now, I have another file that handles certain functionality and it needs to use this logger. Let's call it some_class.py So what I have done is:
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('mylogger.someClass')
class SomeClass:
def __init__(self):
pass
def do_something(self):
logger.critical('A critical message')
Now in a runner.py file I do:
import logger
from some_class import SomeClass
SomeClass().do_something()
My output is:
CRITICAL 2019-10-04 07:38:38,579 mylogger 25: critical message
CRITICAL 2019-10-04 07:38:38,592 mylogger.SomeClass 12: A critical message
Now the problem is that I only want to show the class-level logger's message. I have also tried moving the logger inside the class as a class variable and then referring to self.logger instead but it yields the same result. Is there a way to disable the root logger or how would I only get one log message in this case?
