The behaviour is long-standing and documented, in the note just under this entry: https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html?highlight=logging#logging.log But I do agree that it's surprising and (at least for me) undesirable behaviour, in that it makes it way too easy to accidentally configure logging in library code, which is a no-no according to most logging "best practices" advice. (Applications do logging configuration; libraries should usually confine themselves to creating loggers and emitting log messages.) But I suspect it would be rather hard to change now. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34350> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
