lasio uses the logging module to log warnings and other information when manipulating LAS files.
In [1]:
import logging
import lasio
Sometimes you may want more or less information shown to you when you are reading LAS files with lasio.
By default the logging level is set to WARNING, so you will only see a certain class of messages:
In [2]:
l = lasio.read('../tests/examples/logging_levels.las')
As you can see, the logger shows a warning that the Parmeter section was not found in the LAS file.
To get more information when loading a file, you can set the logging level to INFO. First, instantiate the root logger with a basic configuration:
In [3]:
logging.basicConfig()
Then get the lasio logger object and set the logging level to INFO:
In [4]:
logger = logging.getLogger(lasio.__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
l = lasio.read('../tests/examples/logging_levels.las')
To get even more information, you can set the logging level to DEBUG:
In [5]:
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
l = lasio.read('../tests/examples/logging_levels.las')
One strategy for suppressing logging messages is to set the logger level to a very high level, such that only messages with a CRITICAL designation are shown:
In [6]:
logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
l = lasio.read('../tests/examples/logging_levels.las')
In that case, no messages were logged since no CRITICAL level issues were encountered.
Just to prove that the LAS file loaded, even though no messages were shown, here's a header item:
In [7]:
l.header['Well'].SRVC
