Option to hide "xxx is not supported"

[hongbo-miao]

Would it be a good idea to hide these info by default or provide an option? Thanks! ☺️

ldf is not supported
xls is not supported
xlsx is not supported

As I have a very simple code which is reading MF4 file: https://github.com/hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com/blob/a8103b3b847033e2e31e4008ed1b540d4b39e4f2/embedded-system/decode-can-mf4-data/src/main.py

Without installing any other dependencies than asammdf, everything still works file.

The module is using logging d9902ac . The code linked is actually DEBUG level so should not print but hasn't been released yet I think. The previous was WARNING and so will print by default.

One can control the logging and remove this in their code before importing canmatrix with:

logging.getLogger("canmatrix").setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)

Thank you so much @tuna-f1sh !

I am wondering if it is a good idea to hide these warnings by default? Only when read ldf, xls, xlsx, throw error and remind people to install extra dependencies? Thanks!

[tuna-f1sh]

The commit d9902ac means that they will be hidden by default since the default logging level is < DEBUG. It hasn't been included in a release yet however since the last was over one year ago - not sure why?

@ebroecker, would it be possible to make a new release in the near future?

That way users will not be puzzled anymore by these warnings every time canmatrix is imported somewhere. Unfortunatley, this has been an issue for a long time, #684, old reddit post. It is especially confusing when you are not even importing canmatrix directly, but some other package that depends on it, for example asammdf. No indication where the messages come from or explanation why those formats would be needed.
