Use the instatiation of the console object as a one place flag for turning off all console.log()

[Dario-Mantegazza]

Hi,
I'm using rich with the console.log to debug and follow the processes that are running in my scripts.
What I would like to have is a parameter for the console Class that, if set to True, would turn off all the console.log calls placed in my code.
Like this:

from rich.console import Console

console = Console(log_off=True)

main():
  print("hi")
  console.log("hello")

Output:
hi

The idea is that sometimes I need those logs and some other times I want a cleaner output on my terminal. Currently for what I know about this library, my only option is to comment out every line where I have a console.log().
I hope I expressed my idea well enough.
Thanks for the awesome lib.
Cheers
Dario

Hi Dario,

I'd recommend you use the logging module disabling log output. You can use Rich logging handler to keep the styled output.

If you really can't live without disabling console.log, you could do this:

console.log = lambda *args, **kwargs: None
