[Python-Dev] Problems with regrtest and with logging (original) (raw)

Hi,

That's right, though it's OK to provide a documented convenience API for adding handlers.

I think I’ll aim for simplicity. We’ll document that we use the logger “packaging” throughout and let people use getLogger and addHandler with that.

You don't necessarily need to set the level on the handler - why can you not just set it on the logger? The effect would often be the same: the logger's level is checked first, and then the handler's level.

I thought that if we set the level on the logger, we would prevent third-party code to get some messages. E.g., we set level to INFO but pip uses some packaging functions and would like to get DEBUG messages.

Regards
