logging.info doesn't show up on console but warn and error do

Question

When I log an event with logging.info, it doesn\'t appear in the Python terminal.

import logging
logging.info(\'I am info\')  # no output


        

Answer 1

The above solutions didn't work for me, but the code here did:

# set up logging to file
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
                    format='%(asctime)s %(name)-12s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s',
                    datefmt='%m-%d %H:%M',
                    filename='/temp/myapp.log',
                    filemode='w')
# define a Handler which writes INFO messages or higher to the sys.stderr
console = logging.StreamHandler()
console.setLevel(logging.INFO)
# add the handler to the root logger
logging.getLogger('').addHandler(console)

(I omitted parts of the code for the sake of readability)

Answer 2

The root logger always defaults to WARNING level. Try calling

logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)

and you should be fine.

Answer 3

Like @ztyx said that default logger level is WARNING. You have to set it to a lower level

You can do it by using logging.basicConfig and setting logger level:

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
