Modifying log level in python libraries

[Ben Tomasini <be...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am using the zookeeper Python bindings and am trying to suppress the
INFO level log messages it is producing.  I am new to Python logging.
I tried reconfiguring it with the following to no avail:

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)

Any tips?

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks.

I thought I was using the Python C binding lib.  I will try using the
Kazoo lib instead.

FWIW, Here is the log output I am trying to suppress:

2012-09-20 18:54:44,410:36343(0x7fff7a3cb960):ZOO_INFO@log_env@712:
Client environment:zookeeper.version=zookeeper C client 3.4.3
2012-09-20 18:54:44,411:36343(0x7fff7a3cb960):ZOO_INFO@log_env@716:

2012-09-20 18:54:44,411:36343(0x7fff7a3cb960):ZOO_INFO@log_env@723:

Could you be a little more specific on what library you're using to talk to Zookeeper?

What you've written there will work.... if the code uses the Python standard logging library, which the Python C binding and C lib does not. I'd suggest trying Kazoo which is a pure Python Zookeeper library that uses standard Python logging calls.

Also, logging.ERROR is pretty catastrophic, so most libraries ideally will never show anything at that level unless something horrible happened. Try setting it to logging.INFO or logging.DEBUG for more verbose messages.

Cheers,
Ben
