Replace Print Statements in Library Source Code

[mraffly]

Purpose of the improvement

This refers to issue 5.2 in the documentation https://iffmd.fz-juelich.de/zXxTrardSNaJc4a22gNypw?view

Following files contain print statements:

• fine/expansionModules/transformationPath.py
• fine/expansionModules/optimizeTSAmultiStage.py
• fine/aggregations/spatialAggregation/grouping.py
• fine/utils.py
• fine/IOManagement/dictIO.py
• fine/IOManagement/standardIO.py
• fine/IOManagement/xarrayIO.py

Example in fine/IOManagement/dictIO.py

FINE/fine/IOManagement/dictIO.py

Line 12 in c28d5b8

print("Reconstructing timeseries from TSA")

Drawback of using this:

• Cannot be controlled by users
• Not integrated with logging framework
• Clutters output in production use

Proposal

Following things can be done to fix the issue:

• Replace print statements with proper logging using Python’s logging module
• Or use the existing utils.output() function with verbosity control
