Re: How to prevent logging warning?
I have now checked a change into CVS whereby the one-off error message is not printed unless raiseExceptions is 1. The default behaviour is thus unchanged, but if you set raiseExceptions to 0 for production use and then don't configure any handlers, then the message is not printed.

The reason for the one-off message is that without it, a misconfiguration or a failure to configure any handlers is notified to a user (who is possibly not used to the logging package). I'm not sure which is more annoying - a one-off message which occurs when no handlers are configured and yet events are logged, or complete silence from logging when something is misconfigured, and not giving any feedback on what's wrong? (It's a rhetorical question - the answer is of course quite subjective). I do *not* think 'no handler' is a misconfiguration. Is it possible to differentiate between a misconfiguration and 'no configuration'? Certainly, I could change things so that e.g. the error is suppressed when logging.raiseExceptions is set to 0 (typically for production use). That would be fine. But there are also other ways - you could, for example, print the warning only when __debug__ is False. And you could use the warnings module instead of blindly printing to stderr, this way it could also be filtered out. BTW: Since I have your attention now, is the graphical utility to configure the logging.conf file still available somewhere, and compatible with the current logging package (with 'current' I mean the one included with Python 2.3.5)?

The line was more blurred when the logging package was newly released into the wild ;-) But no configuration could be caused e.g. by an unreadable config file, which might also be categorised as a misconfiguration. That would be fine. But there are also other ways - you could, for example, print the warning only when __debug__ is False. And you could use the warnings module instead of blindly printing to stderr, this way it could also be filtered out. Compatibility with 1.5.2 precludes use of the warnings module. If using raiseExceptions meets your requirement, I'll use that. I'm not sure it's a good idea for the behaviour to change between running with and without -O. BTW: Since I have your attention now, is the graphical utility to configure the logging.conf file still available somewhere, and compatible with the current logging package (with 'current' I mean the one included with Python 2.3.5)? You can always get my attention via email :-) The graphical utility (logconf.py) is available from the download at http://www.red-dove.com/python_logging.html#download AFAIK it should work OK with 2.3.5, though I haven't tested it recently as there wasn't much interest in it. In fact you're the first person to ask! It generates a few extra entries in the config file which are used by the utility only, which are seemingly regarded as cruft by most people.

How to prevent logging warning?
I'm about to add some logging calls to a library I have. How can I prevent that the script that uses the library prints 'No handlers could be found for logger comtypes.client' when the script runs? I would like to setup the logging so that there is no logging when nothing is configured, and no warning messages are printed. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The logging handlers should be set from an external config file and not explicitly in the code. I simply had to just live with it, it's annoying but there is nothing you can do about it (short of playing around with stdout but avoiding that is why you used logging in the first place!).

I would like to setup the logging so that there is no logging when nothing is configured, and no warning messages are printed. This is probably a gross hack, but then I think one could argue that the one-time No handlers could be found for warning is a misfeature -- at least without a clean way to suppress it. I don't know the history of that warning though: -- mylib.py --- import logging log = logging.getLogger(mylib) def func(): log.warn(don't go near the river) log.error(I'm drowning!) -- -- myscript.py --- import sys import logging import mylib if __name__ == __main__: if -v in sys.argv: logging.basicConfig() else: logging.Logger.manager.emittedNoHandlerWarning = True mylib.func() -- $ python myscript.py $ python myscript.py -v WARNING:mylib:don't go near the river ERROR:mylib:I'm drowning! hackily yours, Trent -- Trent Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
