Changing verbosity level on the fly (removing ASCII curve -> STDOUT)

[andrewhof]

Working on building up some test scripts, and I like having the STDOUT CMD reflection. However, when I do an ASCII data query (scope.commands.curve.query() ), it writes the entire massive record to STDOUT. I've tried changing the scope.verbose attribute before/after making the curve.query, but isn't writeable.

Is there a good workaround for keeping the verbose mode, but dropping the output just for the curve query?

Not yet, see #396

You could add some external logging suppression around that line of code yourself, but tm_devices doesn't yet have that functionality natively.

This solution also works:

import logging

from contextlib import contextmanager
from typing import Generator

@contextmanager
def disable_all_loggers() -> Generator[None, None, None]:
    """Temporarily disable all logging within the context manager block."""
    logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL)
    yield
    logging.disable(logging.NOTSET)

with disable_all_loggers():
    data = scope.commands.curve.query()

@nfelt14 :

Where is that Generator import from?

[nfelt14]

the typing module

Works great! While you're making edits, also needs an 'import logging'

Done! Hopefully we can find time to get #396 implemented soon. If not, anyone is more than welcome to submit a PR with new functionality 😄
