Description

Is there a way to set the default logging level when calling get_logger? It seems the default is permanently set to "DEBUG" but the console stream handler is set to "INFO". I imagine this was to set one for a FileHandler and the other for the console. But when I issue log.debug commands and run code in the console they still get printed. I have to manually run log.setLevel("INFO") to turn off automatic debug statements to the console.

Similar can the logging level in one package propagate down to the logging level in dependencies that use the sdss logger?

Research direction

Start by tracing the get_logger entry point and how its logger and console or file handlers receive levels. Check the logging propagation behavior for dependent packages. Done means callers can configure the default level and package-level settings behave as documented without requiring a manual log.setLevel call.
