On the google app engine, how do I change the default logging level of the dev_appserver.py?

Question

Dev_appserver.py (the local development server for Python google app engine) spews tons of useless INFO messages. I would like to up this to WARN or ERROR. How can I do that?

I've tried the following, but it has no effect...

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.WARN)

Any ideas?

Currently, from the command line, you can only lower the logging level to DEBUG by the '-d' command line option.

If you're not afraid of editing the scripts, look for

DEFAULT_ARGS = {
  ...
  ARG_LOG_LEVEL: logging.INFO,

in C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\dev_appserver_main.py
