调试选项的全局变量和GAE Python中的日志记录

Question

I'd like a global variable to determine if I'm in debug mode or not. Is that what __debug__ is for? How do I set/read it on Google App Engine?

If I use logging.debug() , will that automatically be turned off if I don't run the app with debug=True ?

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(# ...
                                        debug=True)

Answer 1

__debug__ is built-in constant defined by Python. The docs say this: "This constant is true if Python was not started with an -O option. Assignments to debug are illegal and raise a SyntaxError. See also the assert statement."

The debug=True you pass to webapp.WSGIApplication is completely separate.

Neither of these will affect logging.debug() either. You can use logging.setLevel() to control how logging.debug() is handled.
