When does this happen?

IF Importing a library that calls logging.basicConfig at import time overrides the application's own logging settings, causing log overflow or loss of custom configuration.

How others solved it

THEN Remove the call to logging.basicConfig from the library's code, or use force=True in the library's basicConfig call to allow subsequent reconfiguration by the application. This prevents interference with the host application's logging behavior.

# Instead of calling logging.basicConfig(...) unconditionally, remove it or use force=True:
# logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING, force=True)  # allows override
