I think it’s a “Bad Idea” to use an environment variable — who knows what Python script may be running on a given system? But a standard command line argument to the interpreter could be useful. -CHB On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 8:51 AM Mike Miller <python-ideas@mgmiller.net> wrote:

Another idea I've had that may be of use:
PYTHONLOGGING environment variable.
Setting PYTHONLOGGING to any log level or level name will initialize logging.basicConfig() with that appropriate level.
Another option would be that -x dev or a different -x logging will initialize basic config.
As a heavy user of logging, I like this one a lot. In a new project, the lack of such a feature allows one to stick with print() perhaps longer than is prudent.
