Where is this logging to?

I have this Python code:

import logging
LOGGER = logging.getLogger(__name__)
LOGGER.info('test')

It does not get written to the console, so where does this get logged?

This does not get logged anywhere, because you did not configure any handlers for the logging framework. Without a handler configured, the log event just gets dropped.

When there aren't any handlers configured, if an event at WARNING or above is seen the root logger will get a handler added automatically, but your event was just at INFO level so that doesn't happen here.

If you include a line like this beforehand to configure the logging framework, then you will see the INFO event logged to terminal:

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

Using basic config will add a StreamHandler writing to sys.stderr if you don't specify otherwise.
