Retrieve loglevel of current node using rospy

edit

This uses the python logging ( https://docs.python.org/2.4/lib/modul... ) underneath rospy logging:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import rospy
import logging

rospy.init_node('log_test')

logger = logging.getLogger("rosout")

logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
level = logger.getEffectiveLevel()
rospy.loginfo("info test, level = " + str(level))
rospy.logdebug("debug test, level = level " + str(level))

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
level = logger.getEffectiveLevel()
rospy.loginfo("info test, level = " + str(level))
rospy.logdebug("debug test, level = level " + str(level))

Old suggestions, maybe I'll test them out:

rospy service call to get_loggers service. (Maybe some extra things to do to properly call service from same node that is providing it)

I don't think there is anything in python like a C macro that could avoid evaluating a function parameter if debug wasn't on (does the actual C++ debug do anything like that?), it would be nice if this could be done:

rospy.logdebug("Very informative output: %s",  burdensome_stats_generation())
