This PR changes the default logging stream to
sys.stderr
whenBLEAK_LOGGING
is set.There's nothing really wrong with logging to
sys.stdout
, it is a bit unusual in my opinion. It makes redirecting logging output to a file more difficult when there's already other output on stdout for example. Additionally, stdout is usually buffered, while stderr is usually unbuffered, which makes it a bit more convenient to work with for diagnostic information (e.g. grep & tail might work better).I have opened this PR because I figured opening an issue first to ask for permission to open the PR would just take up more time. You may close this PR if this is not something you want to change 😄
