How StayPresent's Logging Works (Without Breaking Yours)
A common way third-party packages break application logging is by calling logging.basicConfig(), which mutates the root logger and can silently change formatting, duplicate output, or override handlers users already configured. StayPresent avoids this entirely through Python isolated logging: everything it logs goes through its own dedicated logger, never the root one. The article covers the problem with logging.basicConfig(), StayPresent's dedicated logger, what gets logged and at what level, adjusting verbosity, attaching your own handler, logging during multi-bot runs, logging during shutdown, a full example, best practices, common mistakes, and FAQs. It emphasizes that if a bot calls logging.basicConfig() at startup and a dependency calls it again, whichever call happens first usually wins silently with no error.
StayPresent's isolated logging prevents silent root logger mutation that can break user-configured logging.
