How to disable logging for a particular import

Question

I am trying to use pyttsx3 for a simple voice message but if i put this in a try except block though the voice message is generated there are many unwanted debug logging prints generated ,Is there any way to disable logging for this particular module pyttsx3 I tried the logging.getLogger("pyttsx3").setLevel(logging.INFO) but it didn't help

import logging
import pyttsx3

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format="[%(lineno)d] [%(asctime)s] -- %(name)s  %(levelname)s: %(message)s",
)
logging.getLogger("pyttsx3").setLevel(logging.INFO)
engine = pyttsx3.init()
try:
    logging.info("Normal Logging msg")
    engine.say("hello")
    engine.runAndWait()

except Exception as e:
    logging.debug(e)

Below are the unwanted debug prints

Answer 1

Since the logging comes from comtypes, not pyttsx3, maybe try this: logging.getLogger("comtypes").setLevel(logging.INFO)
