Logging
=======

Werkzeug uses standard Python :mod:`logging`. The logger is named
``"werkzeug"``.

.. code-block:: python

    import logging
    logger = logging.getLogger("werkzeug")

If the logger level is not set, it will be set to :data:`~logging.INFO`
on first use. If there is no handler for that level, a
:class:`~logging.StreamHandler` is added.
