How to disable logging on the standard error stream?

How to disable logging on the standard error stream in Python? This does not work:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.removeHandler(sys.stderr)
logger.warning('foobar')  # emits 'foobar' on sys.stderr
Solution

  • I found a solution for this:

    logger = logging.getLogger('my-logger')
logger.propagate = False
# now if you use logger it will not log to console.

    This will prevent logging from being sent to the upper logger that includes the console logging.
