log messages appearing twice with Python Logging

by

You are calling configure_logging twice (maybe in the __init__ method of Boy) : getLogger will return the same object, but addHandler does not check if a similar handler has already been added to the logger.

Try tracing calls to that method and eliminating one of these. Or set up a flag logging_initialized initialized to False in the __init__ method of Boy and change configure_logging to do nothing if logging_initialized is True, and to set it to True after you’ve initialized the logger.

If your program creates several Boy instances, you’ll have to change the way you do things with a global configure_logging function adding the handlers, and the Boy.configure_logging method only initializing the self.logger attribute.

Another way of solving this is by checking the handlers attribute of your logger:

logger = logging.getLogger('my_logger')
if not logger.handlers:
    # create the handlers and call logger.addHandler(logging_handler)
