Change log-level via mocking

Question

How do I change the log-level temporarily?

I am using mocking as of now

with mock.patch(...):
    my_method_which_does_log()
All logging.info() calls inside the method should get ignored and not logged to the console.

How to implement the (...) to make logs of level INFO get ignored?

The code is single-process and single-thread and executed during testing only. Can anyone help me with this issue?

A way to do this without mocking is logging.disable. You can try the following:

class TestSomething(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        logging.disable(logging.WARNING)

    def tearDown(self):
        logging.disable(logging.NOTSET)
