How to turn off logging?

[fariazz]

When an event is triggered I get console logs like this:

<Event dir=False mask=0x2 maskname=IN_MODIFY name='' path=myfile.csv pathname=/home/me/myfile.csv wd=1 >

How do I turn off this logging behavior?

Take a look at pyinotify.log()and to the class PrintAllEvents.

not sure how to switch it off. Where do I have to define this class? My code is:

wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()
notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm)
wm.add_watch(self.price_file, pyinotify.IN_CLOSE_WRITE)
notifier.loop(callback=self.handler)

self.handler is just a dummy method that prints "file changed"

callbackis not intended for this use, you should inspire yourself from this trivial example tutorial_notifier.py with in particular the class EventHandler.

thanks, callback here is working fine as I need it. I tried doing it as the tutorial before but in that case I need to create an EventHandler class, whereas what I needed was just to call a method that belongs to the current class object where all the code is located.

anyway that is working well as I implemented it. Just got stuck with the logging, but it's ok if there is no simple way to turn it off.

the code has been of great help to my project to thanks a lot for building it!

Ok, do as you want but these events are printed because it is a default behavior resulting from the unusual fact there are no handler (such as EventHandler) defined in you code. Thus a 'by default' behavior of pyinotify makes it handle events by calling an instance of PrintAllEvents to print them. That's why I suggested you find a way to implement an event handler, even an empty one without any methods, just to override this default behavior.

got it! thanks I will implement an empty handler then.
