If you don't want it repeatedly turn it on/off in setUp() and tearDown() for unittest (don't see the reason for that), you could just do it once per class:

    import unittest
    import logging

    class TestMyUnitTest(unittest.TestCase):
        @classmethod
        def setUpClass(cls):
            logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL)
        @classmethod
        def tearDownClass(cls):
            logging.disable(logging.NOTSET)
