faker spamming the logs

See original GitHub issue

I use faker in a short running script. Starting apparently with 0.8.14, every time I initialize the faker, I see this in the logs:

INFO:faker.factory:Provider `faker.providers.address` has been localized to `en_US`.
INFO:faker.factory:Provider `faker.providers.automotive` has been localized to `en_US`.
WARNING:faker.factory:Specified locale `en_US` is not available for provider `faker.providers.bank`. Locale reset to `en_GB` for this provider.

INFO:faker.factory:Provider `faker.providers.ssn` has been localized to `en_US`.
INFO:faker.factory:Provider `faker.providers.user_agent` does not feature localization. Specified locale `en_US` is not utilized for this provider.

I expect two things differently:

The logging at the info level should provide useful information. These info messages should probably be at the DEBUG level or so… since it’s not particularly useful information except in debugging.
Since the default locale is en_US, all providers provided by the package should implement the default locale. In other words, the most basic usage of the library shouldn’t be emitting warnings.

For now, I’m disabling these logs with logging.getLogger('faker.factory').setLevel(logging.ERROR). It feels a bit fragile to have to key on faker.factory. Can you provide a better recommendation?

@DataGreed if you set logging.getLogger('faker').setLevel(logging.ERROR), it should mute all logging from faker

I’ve just released v0.8.15 with all logging statements set to DEBUG
