<p>This module defines functions and classes which implement a flexible event
logging system for applications and libraries.</p>
<p>The key benefit of having the logging API provided by a standard library module
is that all Python modules can participate in logging, so your application log
can include your own messages integrated with messages from third-party
modules.</p>
<p>The simplest example:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>&gt;&gt;&gt; import logging
&gt;&gt;&gt; logging.warning('Watch out!')
WARNING:root:Watch out!
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The module provides a lot of functionality and flexibility.  If you are
unfamiliar with logging, the best way to get to grips with it is to view the
tutorials (<strong>see the links above and on the right</strong>).</p>
<p>The basic classes defined by the module, together with their functions, are
listed below.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Loggers expose the interface that application code directly uses.</p></li>
<li><p>Handlers send the log records (created by loggers) to the appropriate
destination.</p></li>
<li><p>Filters provide a finer grained facility for determining which log records
to output.</p></li>
<li><p>Formatters specify the layout of log records in the final output.</p></li>
</ul>
<section id="logger-objects">
<span id="logger"></span><h2>Logger Objects<a class="headerlink" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logger-objects" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Loggers have the following attributes and methods.  Note that Loggers should
<em>NEVER</em> be instantiated directly, but always through the module-level function
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.getLogger(name)</span></code>.  Multiple calls to <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.getLogger" title="logging.getLogger"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getLogger()</span></code></a> with the same
name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> is potentially a period-separated hierarchical value, like
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bar.baz</span></code> (though it could also be just plain <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>, for example).
Loggers that are further down in the hierarchical list are children of loggers
higher up in the list.  For example, given a logger with a name of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>,
loggers with names of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bar</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bar.baz</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo.bam</span></code> are all
descendants of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">foo</span></code>.  The logger name hierarchy is analogous to the Python
package hierarchy, and identical to it if you organise your loggers on a
per-module basis using the recommended construction
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.getLogger(__name__)</span></code>.  That’s because in a module, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__name__</span></code>
is the module’s name in the Python package namespace.</p>
<dl class="py class">
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="logging.Logger">

<dd><p>If this attribute evaluates to true, events logged to this logger will be
passed to the handlers of higher level (ancestor) loggers, in addition to
any handlers attached to this logger. Messages are passed directly to the
ancestor loggers’ handlers - neither the level nor filters of the ancestor
loggers in question are considered.</p>
<p>If this evaluates to false, logging messages are not passed to the handlers
of ancestor loggers.</p>
<p>Spelling it out with an example: If the propagate attribute of the logger named
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B.C</span></code> evaluates to true, any event logged to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B.C</span></code> via a method call such as
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.getLogger('A.B.C').error(...)</span></code> will [subject to passing that logger’s
level and filter settings] be passed in turn to any handlers attached to loggers
named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A</span></code> and the root logger, after first being passed to any handlers
attached to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B.C</span></code>. If any logger in the chain <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B.C</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A.B</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A</span></code> has its
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">propagate</span></code> attribute set to false, then that is the last logger whose handlers
are offered the event to handle, and propagation stops at that point.</p>
<p>The constructor sets this attribute to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you attach a handler to a logger <em>and</em> one or more of its
ancestors, it may emit the same record multiple times. In general, you
should not need to attach a handler to more than one logger - if you just
attach it to the appropriate logger which is highest in the logger
hierarchy, then it will see all events logged by all descendant loggers,
provided that their propagate setting is left set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>. A common
scenario is to attach handlers only to the root logger, and to let
propagation take care of the rest.</p>

<span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">setLevel</span></span><span class="sig-paren">(</span><em class="sig-param"><span class="n"><span class="pre">level</span></span></em><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.setLevel" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Sets the threshold for this logger to <em>level</em>. Logging messages which are less
severe than <em>level</em> will be ignored; logging messages which have severity <em>level</em>
or higher will be emitted by whichever handler or handlers service this logger,
unless a handler’s level has been set to a higher severity level than <em>level</em>.</p>
<p>When a logger is created, the level is set to <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.NOTSET" title="logging.NOTSET"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NOTSET</span></code></a> (which causes
all messages to be processed when the logger is the root logger, or delegation
to the parent when the logger is a non-root logger). Note that the root logger
is created with level <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.WARNING" title="logging.WARNING"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">WARNING</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>The term ‘delegation to the parent’ means that if a logger has a level of
NOTSET, its chain of ancestor loggers is traversed until either an ancestor with
a level other than NOTSET is found, or the root is reached.</p>
<p>If an ancestor is found with a level other than NOTSET, then that ancestor’s
level is treated as the effective level of the logger where the ancestor search
began, and is used to determine how a logging event is handled.</p>
<p>If the root is reached, and it has a level of NOTSET, then all messages will be
processed. Otherwise, the root’s level will be used as the effective level.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#levels"><span class="std std-ref">Logging Levels</span></a> for a list of levels.</p>
<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 3.2: </span>The <em>level</em> parameter now accepts a string representation of the

<dd><p>Logs a message with level <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.DEBUG" title="logging.DEBUG"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DEBUG</span></code></a> on this logger. The <em>msg</em> is the
message format string, and the <em>args</em> are the arguments which are merged into
<em>msg</em> using the string formatting operator. (Note that this means that you can
use keywords in the format string, together with a single dictionary argument.)
No % formatting operation is performed on <em>msg</em> when no <em>args</em> are supplied.</p>
<p>There are four keyword arguments in <em>kwargs</em> which are inspected:
<em>exc_info</em>, <em>stack_info</em>, <em>stacklevel</em> and <em>extra</em>.</p>
<p>If <em>exc_info</em> does not evaluate as false, it causes exception information to be
added to the logging message. If an exception tuple (in the format returned by
<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exc_info" title="sys.exc_info"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.exc_info()</span></code></a>) or an exception instance is provided, it is used;
otherwise, <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exc_info" title="sys.exc_info"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.exc_info()</span></code></a> is called to get the exception information.</p>
<p>The second optional keyword argument is <em>stack_info</em>, which defaults to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>. If true, stack information is added to the logging
message, including the actual logging call. Note that this is not the same
stack information as that displayed through specifying <em>exc_info</em>: The
former is stack frames from the bottom of the stack up to the logging call
in the current thread, whereas the latter is information about stack frames
which have been unwound, following an exception, while searching for
exception handlers.</p>
<p>You can specify <em>stack_info</em> independently of <em>exc_info</em>, e.g. to just show
how you got to a certain point in your code, even when no exceptions were
raised. The stack frames are printed following a header line which says:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>Stack (most recent call last):
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This mimics the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Traceback</span> <span class="pre">(most</span> <span class="pre">recent</span> <span class="pre">call</span> <span class="pre">last):</span></code> which is used when
displaying exception frames.</p>
<p>The third optional keyword argument is <em>stacklevel</em>, which defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code>.
If greater than 1, the corresponding number of stack frames are skipped
when computing the line number and function name set in the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.LogRecord" title="logging.LogRecord"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LogRecord</span></code></a>
created for the logging event. This can be used in logging helpers so that
the function name, filename and line number recorded are not the information
for the helper function/method, but rather its caller. The name of this
parameter mirrors the equivalent one in the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.html#module-warnings" title="warnings: Issue warning messages and control their disposition."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">warnings</span></code></a> module.</p>
<p>The fourth keyword argument is <em>extra</em> which can be used to pass a
dictionary which is used to populate the __dict__ of the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.LogRecord" title="logging.LogRecord"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LogRecord</span></code></a>
created for the logging event with user-defined attributes. These custom
attributes can then be used as you like. For example, they could be
incorporated into logged messages. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight" style="position: relative;"><pre><span></span><span class="n">FORMAT</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="si">%(asctime)s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(clientip)-15s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(user)-8s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(message)s</span><span class="s1">'</span>

</div>
<p>The keys in the dictionary passed in <em>extra</em> should not clash with the keys used
by the logging system. (See the section on <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logrecord-attributes"><span class="std std-ref">LogRecord attributes</span></a> for more
information on which keys are used by the logging system.)</p>
<p>If you choose to use these attributes in logged messages, you need to exercise
some care. In the above example, for instance, the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Formatter</span></code></a> has been
set up with a format string which expects ‘clientip’ and ‘user’ in the attribute
dictionary of the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.LogRecord" title="logging.LogRecord"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LogRecord</span></code></a>. If these are missing, the message will
not be logged because a string formatting exception will occur. So in this case,
you always need to pass the <em>extra</em> dictionary with these keys.</p>
<p>While this might be annoying, this feature is intended for use in specialized
circumstances, such as multi-threaded servers where the same code executes in
many contexts, and interesting conditions which arise are dependent on this
context (such as remote client IP address and authenticated user name, in the
above example). In such circumstances, it is likely that specialized
<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Formatter</span></code></a>s would be used with particular <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Handler" title="logging.Handler"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Handler</span></code></a>s.</p>
<p>If no handler is attached to this logger (or any of its ancestors,
taking into account the relevant <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Logger.propagate" title="logging.Logger.propagate"><code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Logger.propagate</span></code></a> attributes),

individual handler-level locks as those handlers are configured.</p></li>

made on another thread, because that thread will try to acquire the

tries to acquire the module-level lock <em>after</em> the handler-level lock
(because in this method, the handler-level lock has already been acquired).</p></li>

Note
that the formatted exception information is cached in attribute

formatters to provide for any specific requirement, but the basic behavior
is as follows: if <em>datefmt</em> (a string) is specified, it is used with

<p>Note that filters attached to handlers are consulted before an event is
emitted by the handler, whereas filters attached to loggers are consulted
whenever an event is logged (using <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.debug" title="logging.debug"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">debug()</span></code></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.info" title="logging.info"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">info()</span></code></a>,

been generated by descendant loggers will not be filtered by a logger’s filter
setting, unless the filter has also been applied to those descendant loggers.</p>
<p>You don’t actually need to subclass <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Filter</span></code>: you can pass any instance

<p>Although filters are used primarily to filter records based on more
sophisticated criteria than levels, they get to see every record which is

<span id="id2"></span><h2>LogRecord attributes<a class="headerlink" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logrecord-attributes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The LogRecord has a number of attributes, most of which are derived from the
parameters to the constructor. (Note that the names do not always correspond
exactly between the LogRecord constructor parameters and the LogRecord
attributes.) These attributes can be used to merge data from the record into
the format string. The following table lists (in alphabetical order) the
attribute names, their meanings and the corresponding placeholder in a %-style
format string.</p>
<p>If you are using {}-formatting (<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format" title="str.format"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str.format()</span></code></a>), you can use
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{attrname}</span></code> as the placeholder in the format string. If you are using
$-formatting (<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#string.Template" title="string.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">string.Template</span></code></a>), use the form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${attrname}</span></code>. In
both cases, of course, replace <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">attrname</span></code> with the actual attribute name
you want to use.</p>
<p>In the case of {}-formatting, you can specify formatting flags by placing them
after the attribute name, separated from it with a colon. For example: a
placeholder of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{msecs:03d}</span></code> would format a millisecond value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">4</span></code> as
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">004</span></code>. Refer to the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format" title="str.format"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str.format()</span></code></a> documentation for full details on

<h2>Thread Safety<a class="headerlink" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#thread-safety" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The logging module is intended to be thread-safe without any special work
needing to be done by its clients. It achieves this though using threading
locks; there is one lock to serialize access to the module’s shared data, and
each handler also creates a lock to serialize access to its underlying I/O.</p>
<p>If you are implementing asynchronous signal handlers using the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#module-signal" title="signal: Set handlers for asynchronous events."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">signal</span></code></a>
module, you may not be able to use logging from within such handlers. This is
because lock implementations in the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#module-threading" title="threading: Thread-based parallelism."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">threading</span></code></a> module are not always
re-entrant, and so cannot be invoked from such signal handlers.</p>

<dd><p>Logs a message with level <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.DEBUG" title="logging.DEBUG"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DEBUG</span></code></a> on the root logger. The <em>msg</em> is the
message format string, and the <em>args</em> are the arguments which are merged into
<em>msg</em> using the string formatting operator. (Note that this means that you can
use keywords in the format string, together with a single dictionary argument.)</p>
<p>There are three keyword arguments in <em>kwargs</em> which are inspected: <em>exc_info</em>
which, if it does not evaluate as false, causes exception information to be
added to the logging message. If an exception tuple (in the format returned by
<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exc_info" title="sys.exc_info"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.exc_info()</span></code></a>) or an exception instance is provided, it is used;
otherwise, <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exc_info" title="sys.exc_info"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.exc_info()</span></code></a> is called to get the exception information.</p>
<p>The second optional keyword argument is <em>stack_info</em>, which defaults to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>. If true, stack information is added to the logging
message, including the actual logging call. Note that this is not the same
stack information as that displayed through specifying <em>exc_info</em>: The
former is stack frames from the bottom of the stack up to the logging call
in the current thread, whereas the latter is information about stack frames
which have been unwound, following an exception, while searching for
exception handlers.</p>
<p>You can specify <em>stack_info</em> independently of <em>exc_info</em>, e.g. to just show
how you got to a certain point in your code, even when no exceptions were
raised. The stack frames are printed following a header line which says:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>Stack (most recent call last):
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This mimics the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Traceback</span> <span class="pre">(most</span> <span class="pre">recent</span> <span class="pre">call</span> <span class="pre">last):</span></code> which is used when
displaying exception frames.</p>
<p>The third optional keyword argument is <em>extra</em> which can be used to pass a
dictionary which is used to populate the __dict__ of the LogRecord created for
the logging event with user-defined attributes. These custom attributes can then
be used as you like. For example, they could be incorporated into logged
messages. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight" style="position: relative;"><pre><span></span><span class="n">FORMAT</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="si">%(asctime)s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(clientip)-15s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(user)-8s</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="si">%(message)s</span><span class="s1">'</span>
<span class="n">logging</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">basicConfig</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">format</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">FORMAT</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">d</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">{</span><span class="s1">'clientip'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s1">'192.168.0.1'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'user'</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="s1">'fbloggs'</span><span class="p">}</span>
<span class="n">logging</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">warning</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'Protocol problem: </span><span class="si">%s</span><span class="s1">'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'connection reset'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">extra</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">d</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>would print something like:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>2006-02-08 22:20:02,165 192.168.0.1 fbloggs  Protocol problem: connection reset
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The keys in the dictionary passed in <em>extra</em> should not clash with the keys used
by the logging system. (See the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Formatter</span></code></a> documentation for more
information on which keys are used by the logging system.)</p>
<p>If you choose to use these attributes in logged messages, you need to exercise
some care. In the above example, for instance, the <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Formatter</span></code></a> has been
set up with a format string which expects ‘clientip’ and ‘user’ in the attribute
dictionary of the LogRecord. If these are missing, the message will not be
logged because a string formatting exception will occur. So in this case, you
always need to pass the <em>extra</em> dictionary with these keys.</p>
<p>While this might be annoying, this feature is intended for use in specialized
circumstances, such as multi-threaded servers where the same code executes in
many contexts, and interesting conditions which arise are dependent on this
context (such as remote client IP address and authenticated user name, in the
above example). In such circumstances, it is likely that specialized
<a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter" title="logging.Formatter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Formatter</span></code></a>s would be used with particular <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.Handler" title="logging.Handler"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Handler</span></code></a>s.</p>

<dd><p>Provides an overriding level <em>level</em> for all loggers which takes precedence over
the logger’s own level. When the need arises to temporarily throttle logging
output down across the whole application, this function can be useful. Its
effect is to disable all logging calls of severity <em>level</em> and below, so that
if you call it with a value of INFO, then all INFO and DEBUG events would be
discarded, whereas those of severity WARNING and above would be processed
according to the logger’s effective level. If
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.disable(logging.NOTSET)</span></code> is called, it effectively removes this
overriding level, so that logging output again depends on the effective
levels of individual loggers.</p>
<p>Note that if you have defined any custom logging level higher than
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CRITICAL</span></code> (this is not recommended), you won’t be able to rely on the
default value for the <em>level</em> parameter, but will have to explicitly supply a

logged to a logger named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'py.warnings'</span></code> with a severity of <a class="reference internal" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.WARNING" title="logging.WARNING"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">WARNING</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>If <em>capture</em> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>, the redirection of warnings to the logging system
will stop, and warnings will be redirected to their original destinations
(i.e. those in effect before <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">captureWarnings(True)</span></code> was called).</p>
