New submission from Pascal Chambon <chambon.pas...@gmail.com>:
Hello
I see some trouble in the semantic of logging.disable(lvl) :
according to the doc (and docstrings), it's the same as a logger.setLevel(lvl)
called on all logger, but in reality it doesn't act the same way : when we call
logger.setLevel(lvl), log messages at level lvl WILL be logged, whereas with
logger.disable(lvl), they will NOT be logged (CF method below from
logging/__init__.py).
So maybe the best would be to explain that disable() also disable the target
level itself, and to set by default this disabling level to -1 (and not 0 as
currently), so that by default ALL messages get loged, even those set to level
0.
def isEnabledFor(self, level):
"""
Is this logger enabled for level 'level'?
"""
if self.manager.disable >= level:
return 0
return level >= self.getEffectiveLevel()
