Some test runs become verbose, without a user config setting for verbosity. This previously occurred for travis builds against ar.wikipedia. https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/34230160 Current travis builds do not exhibit this behaviour, however it still occurs on my ar.wikipedia test runs.
The cause of the problem appears to be flickrapi 1.4.4 which calls logging.basicConfig(), which is not appropriate for a library. https://bitbucket.org/sybren/flickrapi/src/e91ab5c64c7ed036a7397474ec31f9b16d3e62a9/flickrapi/__init__.py?at=branch-1.4#cl-68 The bug stopped happening on travis because script_tests first checks for ImageTk, which fails for travis builds, so flickrapi isnt loaded https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/37419168 "flickrripper depends on ImageTk, which isnt available: No module named ImageTk"
Bug raised: https://bitbucket.org/sybren/flickrapi/issue/51/loggingbasicconfig
Now that we've fixed all the other issues with flickrripper, this is now causing builds to fail. Some options: 1. use a custom build of flickrapi 1.4.4 for tests 2. use the hg master build of flickrapi for tests 3. somehow detect what flickrapi 1.4.4 has done and undo it The simplest fix is option 2
