Logging

When running parameter sweep experiments, having detailed output can be beneficial for monitoring progress, debugging, or gaining insights into the execution process. By configuring the logging level, you can control the amount of detail included in the output.

SweepExp uses Python’s logging module for output. By default, the logging level is set to only show warnings and errors. You can adjust this level to display detailed debug information by setting the logging level to “DEBUG”:

from sweepexp import sweepexp, log

log.setLevel("DEBUG")

def my_custom_experiment(x: float, y: float) -> dict:
    """Add and multiply two numbers."""
    return {"addition": x + y, "multiplication": x * y}

sweep = sweepexp(
    func = my_custom_experiment,
    parameters = { "x": [1, 2], "y": [3, 4, 5] },
)

sweep.run()

with output:
