Python: multiprocessing: Get the logger used by multiprocessing

‘multiprocessing.get_logger()’ return the logger used by multiprocessing. If necessary, a new one will be created. Be default the logger has level logging.NOTSET and no default handler.

from multiprocessing import Process
import multiprocessing
import logging

def print_data():
    name = multiprocessing.current_process().name
    id = multiprocessing.current_process().pid
    print(name, id)
    print("Processing finished")

if __name__=="__main__":
    multiprocessing.log_to_stderr(logging.DEBUG)
    logger = multiprocessing.get_logger()

    logger.debug("Started logging data")

    proc1 = Process(name='process1', target=print_data)

    proc1.start()
    proc1.join()

    print("Is proc1 alive ",proc1.is_alive())


    print("Finished")

Output
