gpxpy writes logs in the root logger #79

Closed stac47 closed 7 years ago

stac47 commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I spotted that throughout the library, the logs are written in the ROOT logger. This is not really convenient if an application using this library wants to redirect the logs to another file.

I would propose to define a default logger for the gpxpy library and prevent writing logs by default as explained here https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#library-config.

If you think it is worth taking some time to do it, just tell me and I will provide a PR. Regards, Stac

Hi Laurent,

Agreed, this is a good idea. If you want to implement it, I'd definitely be interested in merging the PR.

Closing, but if somebody wants this feature I'm still interested in a PR.
