Integrate python logging with knime loggging / console

[kienerj]

It is still rather cumbersome to output to the console from python script. Switching the log level to see the print statements leads to clutter in the console and you have to switch forth and back.

I propose to integrate the python logging functionality with the knime console. eg the python logger would adhere to the knime settings and only output message to the console according to the level set.
(merge python error and critical to knimes “error” level).

Then one gets all the control needed and even imported packages can then log to the console if they have a logger configured.

@kienerj what you currently can do is build your own Python logging system:

Python scripting

@Bob_Nisbet I do not think it is possible to temporary halt a Python Script node and look at the input. What you can do is log the messages and also print() to a log file and take a look at that later: [image] Here is the ‘pure’ code. You would have to adapt the path. import logging import sys import datetime class StreamToLogger: def __init__(self, logger, level=logging.INFO): self.logger = logger self.level = level def write(self, message): if message.…

I admit I am stunned by Markus’ very nice workaround.

EDIT: And I also support your idea, Joos.
