How to disable logging on the standard error stream in Python? This does not work:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.removeHandler(sys.stderr)
logger.warning('foobar')  # emits 'foobar' on sys.stderr

python logging console stdout python-logging

I use:

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.disabled = True
... whatever you want ...
logger.disabled = False
