Replace default handler of Python logger

Question

I\'ve got the following code running on each request of a wsgi (web2py) application:

import logging, logging.handlers
from logging import StreamHandler, Formatte         


        

Answer 1

You can remove the default handler from the getLogger() using this:

logging.getLogger().removeHandler(logging.getLogger().handlers[0])

Or clear the existing handlers first before adding handlers that you want:

logging.getLogger().handlers.clear()

After doing so, these logs will no longer display except the new handlers you have added:

DEBUG: Do stuff
WARNING: Do stuff
