Logging API

sphinx.util.logging.getLogger(name)

Get logger wrapped by sphinx.util.logging.SphinxLoggerAdapter.

Sphinx logger always uses sphinx.* namespace to be independent from settings of root logger. It ensures logging is consistent even if a third-party extension or imported application resets logger settings.

Example usage:

>>> from sphinx.util import logging
>>> logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
>>> logger.info('Hello, this is an extension!')
Hello, this is an extension!
