logging library doesn't seem to work with spyder

Hello,

I’m trying to run a script using python standard library ‘logging’. This script works fine from the command line but when run from Spyder, no log is printed.

My configuration is: Windows 7 Python 2.7.10 :: Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit) spyder-app 2.3.5.2

The script is:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Simple test using logging
"""
import logging

# Logger configuration:
log_level = logging.DEBUG 
log_format = '%(levelname)s:%(message)s'

# Testing logger
logger = logging.root
logger.basicConfig = logging.basicConfig(format=log_format, filename='test.log', level=log_level)
logger.info('Testing logger (info)')
logger.debug('Testing logger (debug)')
logger.warning('Testing logger (warn)')
logger.info("")

Thanks! force=True worked on my system Mac, Python 3.8.1, Spyder 4.1.3)

@gokhalen, your use case also seems fixed in Python 3.8, by passing a new parameter called force=True to basicConfig so it can be reset each time you run new code.
