"""Provides functions for logging error and other messages to one or more
files and/or the console, using python's own logging module. Some warning
messages and error messages are generated by PsychoPy itself. The user can
generate more using the functions in this module.

There are various levels for logged messages with the following order of
importance: ERROR, WARNING, DATA, EXP, INFO and DEBUG.

When setting the level for a particular log target (e.g. LogFile)
the  user can set the minimum level that is required
for messages to enter the log. For example, setting a level of INFO will
result in INFO, EXP, DATA, WARNING and ERROR messages to be recorded but not
DEBUG messages.

By default, PsychoPy will record messages of WARNING level and above to
the console. The user can silence that by setting it to receive only CRITICAL
messages, (which PsychoPy doesn't use) using the commands::

    from psychopy import logging
    logging.console.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
