Camilla Montonen added the comment: This issue raises the fact that the 2.X documentation lists two logging levels (SUBDEBUG and SUBWARNING) without explaining how these two fit into the logging hierarchy of the logging levels provided by the standard library logging module (ie, is SUBDEBUG between INFO and DEBUG).
The patch (provided by JJeffries and modified by Petri Lehtinen) adds an explanatory note stating the hierarchy as follows These are :const:`SUBWARNING`, +which fits between :const:`INFO` and :const:`WARNING` in the normal logging +hierarchy, and :const:`SUBDEBUG`, which fits below :const:`DEBUG` Review (this applies to the 2.X version of the documentation) 1. It would be nice to clarify that SUBDEBUG is between DEBUG and NOTSET instead of saying that it is 'below' as this maybe misunderstood (at least it's not very clear to me). 2. Slightly unrelated to the main issue of this patch 2a) "In addition to having these two logging functions, the multiprocessing also" Should be "In addition to having these two logging functions, the multiprocessing module also" 3. The documentation for the multiprocessing module in Python 3.X has removed any mention of SUBWARNING and SUBDEBUG, so I'm not sure if this patch is even relevant anymore? 4. Also, slightly tangent to this patch, but might be nice to pick up is the fact that documentation for the 2.X version mentions that the logging level table can be viewed in the logging module documentation "For a full table of logging levels, see the logging module." which is not the case anymore. As Vinay Sajip mentions, in 2.X the logging level table has moved to the how-to https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html#logging-levels and so this link should be updated as well TODO: 1. Check if SUBWARNING and SUBDEBUG are still part of the public API in 3.X and then suggest alterations to documentation based on that. ---------- nosy: +Winterflower _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12174> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
