I'm using bs4 for my project. It print out messy output with many encoding confidence score whenever I create a soup instance: req = urllib2.Request(url, headers=hdr) page = urllib2.urlopen(req, timeout=5) soup = BeautifulSoup(page.read(), "lxml") It works fine, but with redundant output. I just want to remove it, but I can't find any information about something like verbose option. 2018-11-15 10:40:46,286 utf-8 confidence = 0.99 2018-11-15 10:40:46,286 SHIFT_JIS Japanese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,287 EUC-JP Japanese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,287 GB2312 Chinese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,287 EUC-KR Korean confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,287 CP949 Korean confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,287 Big5 Chinese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 EUC-TW Taiwan confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 windows-1251 Russian confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 KOI8-R Russian confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 ISO-8859-5 Russian confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 MacCyrillic Russian confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,288 IBM866 Russian confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,289 IBM855 Russian confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,289 ISO-8859-7 Greek confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,289 windows-1253 Greek confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,289 ISO-8859-5 Bulgairan confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,289 windows-1251 Bulgarian confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,290 TIS-620 Thai confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,290 ISO-8859-9 Turkish confidence = 0.54363730033 2018-11-15 10:40:46,290 windows-1255 Hebrew confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,290 windows-1255 Hebrew confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,290 windows-1255 Hebrew confidence = 0.0 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 utf-8 confidence = 0.99 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 SHIFT_JIS Japanese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 EUC-JP Japanese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 GB2312 Chinese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 EUC-KR Korean confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,291 CP949 Korean confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,292 Big5 Chinese confidence = 0.01 2018-11-15 10:40:46,292 EUC-TW Taiwan confidence = 0.01 Please help.
