Get Output From the logging Module in IPython Notebook

Question

When I running the following inside IPython Notebook I don\'t see any output:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.debug(\"test\")         


        

Answer 1

I wanted a simple and straightforward answer to this, with nicely styled output so here's my recommendation

import sys
import logging

logging.basicConfig(
    format='%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(name)s - %(message)s',
    level=logging.INFO,
    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
    stream=sys.stdout,
)
log = logging.getLogger('notebook')

Then you can use log.info() or any of the other logging levels anywhere in your notebook with output that looks like this
