import breaks root Logger

[defkev]

Nice little module with one major caveat, you are overriding the root logger which will break logging in every app importing your module:

Demo:

import logging
import pyrcrack

#logging.getLogger().handlers.clear()

logging.basicConfig(
    format = '%(asctime)s %(name)s[%(process)s-%(threadName)s] %(levelname)7s: %(message)s',
    level = logging.DEBUG
)
logging.debug("I'm a debug")
logging.warning("I'm a warning")
logging.error("I'm an error")
logging.info("I'm a info")

Output:

WARNING:root:I'm a warning
ERROR:root:I'm an error
INFO:root:I'm a info

Notice a) the debug message is missing and b) the formatter ignored.

The only workaround i can think off is by resetting the (your) root logger:

...

logging.getLogger().handlers.clear()

...

Output:

2023-11-30 04:28:34,563 root[182602-MainThread]   DEBUG: I'm a debug
2023-11-30 04:28:34,563 root[182602-MainThread] WARNING: I'm a warning
2023-11-30 04:28:34,563 root[182602-MainThread]   ERROR: I'm an error
2023-11-30 04:28:34,563 root[182602-MainThread]    INFO: I'm a info
2023-11-30 04:28:34,563 asyncio[182602-MainThread]   DEBUG: Using selector: EpollSelector
2023-11-30 04:28:34,570 AirmonNg[182602-MainThread]   DEBUG: Parsing options: {}
2023-11-30 04:28:34,570 AirmonNg[182602-MainThread]   DEBUG: Got options: []
2023-11-30 04:28:34,570 AirmonNg[182602-MainThread]   DEBUG: Running command: ['airmon-ng']

Which of course also resets your logger.
