python logging 'disabled' set to True

Question

I use the logging package:

configuration_logger = logging.getLogger("configuration")

It writes a few logs, then for the next one I see that configuration_logger.disabled is True. How can I check why it was changed to True?

It's probably because you called logging.config.fileConfig or logging.config.dictConfig without declaring disable_existing_loggers to be False (see this search result). The default value of this is True only for reasons of backward compatibility.

You should generally configure logging (using e.g. the above functions) before logging anything.
