Draft: Quieter operation
At present there's lots of (often incredibly helpful!) messages printed by pyicon. In my workflows I've found sometimes things are a little too verbose, and to cut this down have refactored the code to make greater use of the logging library. This was basically a careful search/replace for the following terms (and several variants thereof) in all the .py
files contained in the first level of the pyicon
sub-folder.
print("::: Warning ...")
--> logging.warning("::: Warning ...")
print("message ...")
--> logging.info("message ...")
# print("message ...")
--> logging.debug("message ...")
To get messages when running code, users should now set their logging level at the top of any scripts they run. For example, having run import logging
they would run:
logger = logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
to get all messages (potentially very useful for developers);
logger = logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
to get the previously standard messages;
and logger = logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
to only get warning messages (this is the default option);
