Controlling the logging of huggingface_hub

The huggingface_hub package exposes a logging utility to control the logging level of the package itself. You can import it as such:

from huggingface_hub import logging

Then, you may define the verbosity in order to update the amount of logs you’ll see:

from huggingface_hub import logging

logging.set_verbosity_error()
logging.set_verbosity_warning()
logging.set_verbosity_info()
logging.set_verbosity_debug()

logging.set_verbosity(...)

The levels should be understood as follows:

• error: only show critical logs about usage which may result in an error or unexpected behavior.
• warning: show logs that aren’t critical but usage may result in unintended behavior. Additionally, important informative logs may be shown.
• info: show most logs, including some verbose logging regarding what is happening under the hood. If something is behaving in an unexpected manner, we recommend switching the verbosity level to this in order to get more information.
• debug: show all logs, including some internal logs which may be used to track exactly what’s happening under the hood.

Repo-specific helper methods

The methods exposed below are relevant when modifying modules from the huggingface_hub library itself. Using these shouldn’t be necessary if you use huggingface_hub and you don’t modify them.

>>> from huggingface_hub import get_logger

>>> logger = get_logger(__file__)
>>> logger.set_verbosity_info()
