Disable INFO logging messages in Ipython Notebook

Question

I'm using requests_throttler and requests modules for communication through API. My script are writen in Ipython Notebook. I'm getting a lot of logging messages from requests_throttler module. How may I disable or save to file log messages in Ipython Notebook? I got message like:

INFO:requests_throttler.throttler:Starting base throttler 'base-throttler'...

and want to send thousands of requests and this INFO messages will kill my notebook.

Answer 1

If you just want to disable all INFO loggings in Jupyter Notebook just do the following inside your notebook:

#Supress default INFO logging

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)

Answer 2

For Python 3 you can simply do:

import logging, sys
logging.disable(sys.maxsize)

Answer 3

This worked for me under Python 2.7. (Other suggestions welcomed!)

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger('requests_throttler')
logger.addHandler(logging.NullHandler())
logger.propagate = False

Setting logger.propagate to False suppresses the lone remaining "No handlers could be found for logger X.Y.Z" message that you'd otherwise see.

To save to a file, check out logging.FileHandler().
