The very most basic logging setup for Python

basic_logging_setup.py

import logging
import sys

# Use this format for more verbosity
LOGGING_FORMAT = "%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter(logging.BASIC_FORMAT))

# Only necessary if the same code is being run multiple times as in a notebook, for instance.
if len(logger.handlers) > 0:
    logger.handlers = []
    
logger.addHandler(handler)
