[Distutils] Can we prevent setuptools from writing to stdout

[Fadhley Salim]

I assume that what you meant to says was that we should drop the logging module in distutils and replace it with the standard python-library logger in the logging module - if so, that would be great for us.
 
I've always wondered why distutils has it's own implementation of logging.
 
Thanks

	Is it possible to prevent setuptools from writing anything to stdout?
	 
	For various inconvenient reasons our package must install silently - that means the installation process must not write to either stdout or stderr. Other than hacking distutils / setuptools to ensure that there's nothing which can write i've not yet been able to come up with a reliable means to control output.
	 
	Thanks


At distutils level you can set the verbosity and reduce the output, by setting it to 0

(distutils.log.set_verbosity)

If your package does not provocate warnings, and if the commands used are all using this log
facility (iirc setuptools does it everywhereà, you should not have any output.

That said, this log module should be dropped in favor of the logging module in distutils

Cheers
