Description

When the python logging module is used to generate log output in a code which is using the python-bindings, the assertion statements are not printed as part of the log. Using print() in the code itself leads to the print output being sent to the terminal. This behavior is observed when preCICE is compiled in Debug mode.
When assertion statements are not printed it is hard to debug the code. Is there a way to ensure that the assertion statements from the bindings are printed no matter what logging is used in the code?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Python logging module while preCICE is compiled in Debug mode, and compare its output with print(). Trace how assertion output from the Python bindings is emitted. Done means binding assertions remain visible regardless of the logging configuration.
