I'm using Python logging, and for some reason, all of my messages are appearing twice.
I have a module to configure logging:
# BUG: It's outputting logging messages twice - not sure why - it's not the propagate setting.
def configure_logging(self, logging_file):
self.logger = logging.getLogger("my_logger")
self.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
self.logger.propagate = 0
# Format for our loglines
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")
# Setup console logging
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
self.logger.addHandler(ch)
# Setup file logging as well
fh = logging.FileHandler(LOG_FILENAME)
fh.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
fh.setFormatter(formatter)
self.logger.addHandler(fh)
Later on, I call this method to configure logging:
if __name__ == '__main__':
tom = Boy()
tom.configure_logging(LOG_FILENAME)
tom.buy_ham()
And then within say, the buy_ham module, I'd call:
self.logger.info('Successfully able to write to %s' % path)
And for some reason, all the messages are appearing twice. I commented out one of the stream handlers, still the same thing. Bit of a weird one, not sure why this is happening...lol. Assuming I've missed something obvious.

To log an exception in Python we can use logging module and through that we can log the error. Logging an exception in python with an error can be done in the logging. exception() method. This function logs a message with level ERROR on this logger.
You are calling configure_logging
twice (maybe in the __init__
method of Boy
) : getLogger
will return the same object, but addHandler
does not check if a similar handler has already been added to the logger.
Try tracing calls to that method and eliminating one of these. Or set up a flag logging_initialized
initialized to False
in the __init__
method of Boy
and change configure_logging
to do nothing if logging_initialized
is True
, and to set it to True
after you've initialized the logger.
If your program creates several Boy
instances, you'll have to change the way you do things with a global configure_logging
function adding the handlers, and the Boy.configure_logging
method only initializing the self.logger
attribute.
Another way of solving this is by checking the handlers attribute of your logger:
logger = logging.getLogger('my_logger')
if not logger.handlers:
# create the handlers and call logger.addHandler(logging_handler)
