|

When developing a library which uses logging, you should take care to
|

document how the library uses logging - for example, the names of loggers
|

used. Some consideration also needs to be given to its logging configuration.
|
||||
If the using application does not use logging, and library code makes logging
|
||||
calls, then (as described in the previous section) events of severity
|
||||
``WARNING`` and greater will be printed to ``sys.stderr``. This is regarded as
|

the best default behaviour.

If the using application does not configure logging, and library code makes

If for some reason you *don't* want this message printed in the absence of

logger for your library. This avoids the message being printed, since a handler

A do-nothing handler is included in the logging package:
