How to hide telegram.vendor.ptb error and warning messages?

Question

I am running a telegram bot with the code below.

 def main():

 """Start the bot."""
 
 global token, allowedUsers

 # Create the Updater and pass it your bot's token.
 updater = Updater(token)

 # Get the dispatcher to register handlers
 dispatcher = updater.dispatcher

 # Registering handlers

 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("help", help_info))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("learn", learn))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("revise", revise))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("quote", quote))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("more", more))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("quiz", quiz))

 # on non command i.e message

 dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, messageHandler))

 # Start the Bot
 updater.start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True)

 updater.idle()

The code is working fine and it is doing what needs to be done. The only issue I am facing is in my terminal, when the code has run for hours and hours, I wake up and see this mess (over and over again!):

But, even after all these warning/error messages, the bot is running fine. There is no issue there. The only problem is the network error messages which after a lot of googling, I am convinced, I can't get rid of. All I want is to hide these messages so that I can have a cleaner terminal for relevant information which I need.

Here is the things I have tried but none has worked.

Try 1:

import logging

logging.getLogger("telegram").setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Try 2:

import logging

logging.getLogger("telegram.vendor,ptb_urllib3.urllib3").setLevel(
    logging.CRITICAL)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Nothing seems to be working and I am a little disappointed. Please show me what I am missing! This should not be this frustrating. It is a simple bot.

try `"telegram.vendor.ptb_urllib3.urllib3"` instead of `"telegram.vendor,ptb_urllib3.urllib3"` (the comma) — CallMeStag, Apr 02 '22 at 16:38
@CallMeStag Okay, will try this and let you know. The errors come once the script runs for a long time. So, won't know till tomorrow morning I guess. Thanks for the help. — Aaron Jones, Apr 02 '22 at 18:16

There is a simple solution to this:

import logging
import (other modules)

logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
                level=logging.INFO)

logging.getLogger("telegram.vendor.ptb_urllib3.urllib3").setLevel(logging.ERROR)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

The main function will remain the same:

def main():

 """Start the bot."""
 
 global token, allowedUsers

 # Create the Updater and pass it your bot's token.
 updater = Updater(token)

 # Get the dispatcher to register handlers
 dispatcher = updater.dispatcher

 # Registering handlers

 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("help", help_info))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("learn", learn))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("revise", revise))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("quote", quote))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("more", more))
 dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("quiz", quiz))

 # on non command i.e message

 dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, messageHandler))

 # Start the Bot
 updater.start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True)

 updater.idle()
