How do I stop Keras showing "using XXX backend"?

"Using XXX backend" would print when I import keras.

import keras

Outputs:

Using TensorFlow backend.

But I clearly know what I am using.

How to disable it?

Another way to hide keras printing "using Tensorflow backend"

Suggested here https://github.com/keras-team/keras/issues/1406

import ...

import os
from contextlib import redirect_stderr
with redirect_stderr(open(os.devnull, "w")):
    import keras

import ...
import ...

First comment in here "keras/backend/init.py" the string print('Using TensorFlow backend.') it will work!!.. but it is not a permanent solution.

If you are using Tensorflow 2.0, then you might get an error saying AttributeError: module 'tf' has no attribute 'logging'

Unfortunately tf.logging has been removed from tensorflow 2.0. Please execute the below commands:

import logging logger = tf.get_logger() logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)

Include this line in your code. It will ignore the error.

tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)

Just using the code below.

import os
import sys
stderr = sys.stderr
sys.stderr = open(os.devnull, 'w')
import keras
sys.stderr = stderr

workaround for this problem:

stderr = sys.stderr
sys.stderr = open(os.devnull, 'w')
import keras
sys.stderr = stderr

You can find more info in keras issues here

You have two options: First comment in here keras/backend/__init__.py the string print('Using TensorFlow backend.'), but of course this option is not suggested since you are going to edit code in the keras module. The second option is:

import sys
stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = open('/dev/null', 'w')
import keras
sys.stdout = stdout

It's not elegant, but it works.
