[pywikibot] Re: Simplifying logging?

Note It is strongly advised that you do not add any handlers other than NullHandler to your library’s loggers. This is because the configuration of handlers is the prerogative of the application developer who uses your library. The application developer knows their target audience and what handlers are most appropriate for their application: if you add handlers ‘under the hood’, you might well interfere with their ability to carry out unit tests and deliver logs which suit their requirements.

I want to have full control of the logging config in my application. In particular, I want all the logging to go to my logfile. Having a library install its own handlers which are hard-wired to a TerminalHandler just complicates that. _______________________________________________ pywikibot mailing list -- pywikibot(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org> To unsubscribe send an email to pywikibot-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:pywikibot-leave@lists.wikimedia.org>
