No way to configure logging via waitress-serve?

[mrmachine]

It seems I must create my own wrapper around waitress.serve in order to configure logging?

Yes, or have your application set up the Python logging system.

[1zg12]

waitress is using the default logging.basicConfig(), which might not be suitable for all, and could affect your own logging set up as well.
Instead, you can turn the waitress logging off completely, by passing in the _quiet parameter, like

serve(app, _quiet=True)

then you can use your own logging setup.

That _quiet parameter is a testing shim, and is not public API.

If you don't want Python logging it is a better idea to setup the Python loggers yourself, in which case the call to basicConfig won't actually do anything.
