Hi,

I'm using support classes that are not part of a node to represent things such as scene objects.

Here is one representing a cylinder:

# has to be imported like this
from rclpy import logging

class cylinder:
    def __init__(
        self,
        center: Pose = None,
        radius: float = None,
        thickness: float = None,
        logger: LoggerInterface = logging.get_logger('cylinder'),
    ):
        self.center: Pose = center
        self.radius: float = radius
        self.thickness: float = thickness
        self.logger: LoggerInterface = logger

As you can see, I defined a default logger. For this, since I'm not in a node, I'm directly calling it from the logging module of rclpy. I also defined a LoggerInterface class that is purely an un-implemented interface for typing.

This code works.

What is not working is VS Code functionalities. VS Code can't find logging.get_logger. So that it appears in white and no documentation is available, nor autocomplete.

Also, I can't find a class that VSCode can refer to, to strongly type self.logger. So that I had to rely on this custom interface to have some vs code features.

I know it is a detail, but since I plan to use these default loggers a lot, I would like to know if you have some clean solution to propose?

Thanks
