Issues with logging into the log file

[JB4Jaison]

I was having issues with getting anything written onto the log file. The stream handler seemed to work well enough and was displaying all the information on the terminal and yet the log file was blank.

The script I executed while training was:

!omnipose --train --use_gpu --dir ./Data/train/augmented --mask_filter _masks \
         --n_epochs 200 --pretrained_model worm_omni --learning_rate 0.01 --diameter 0 \
         --batch_size 16  --RAdam --in_folders --verbose

This was done in a jupyter notebook and the OS I am using is a RHEL 7 workstation. Other details
Python: 3.9.18
Omnipose: 1.0.7.dev20+gbf456e4

I was able to get around this problem by adding

for handler in logging.root.handlers[:]:
        logging.root.removeHandler(handler)

before the

  logging.basicConfig(
                   level=logging.DEBUG if verbose else logging.INFO,
                   format="%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(message)s",
                   handlers=[
                       logging.FileHandler(log_file),
                       logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
                   ]
               )

I am not sure if I am overdoing things here and if there is some other way to solve this issue.
