Python logzero and stdout

logzero sends all entry logs to a file, but also to stdout. Is there a way to avoid polluting the stdout?

I want to do this in Python. I don't want to call my script and redirect its output to /dev/null, because if I do so I won't be able to print useful messages to stdout.

EDIT: As @blues pointed out logzero sends lines to stderr, not stdout.

logzero does not actually send any logs to stdout, they are being sent to stderr. So you could redirect them to /dev/null without affecting your regular output.

But there is also a kwarg for logzero to not use this handler at all:

import logzero

logger = logzero.setup_default_logger(disableStderrLogger=True)
logzero.logfile('zero.log')
logger.info('appears in file but not on terminal')

I would however recommend instead to just use the native python logging module, as it is actually easier to setup for just filelogging:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(filename='logging.log', level='DEBUG')
logging.info('will be logged to file')
