Is there any way to completely hide all messages returned by the fit method for forecast task?

[good-morning-jeremy]

Even though setting the verbose = 0 in the fit method will minimize the output messages but there is still a wall of text that I find inconvenient because sometimes I don't really care about the searching process. Does anyone know how to hide it completely just like the verbose = False in Tensorflow?
These unavoidable messages are super annoying in my case when I have to combine the results of multiple different auto models in a single main function that includes many other steps :(

Is the message like

***/python3.7/site-packages/sklearn/linear_model/sag.py:354: ConvergenceWarning: The max_iter was reached which means the coef did not converge

That's the only message I get when using v0.6.9 and verbose=0. It's not from flaml but from sklearn. You can filter them by

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", module="sklearn[.*]")

Unfortunately, the message I got is way longer than that and it doesn't look like the warning from sklearn. I am doing the task forecast with these configurations:

SETTINGS = {
    'time_budget': 180,
    'task': 'forecast',
    'metrics': 'mape',
    'period': TEST_SIZE,
    'eval_method': 'holdout',
    'early_stop': True,
    'seed': 4,
    'n_jobs': -1,
    'verbose': 0,
}

This is how the message looks like and its actual length is 30 ~ 40 times of this:

That's from prophet. You can follow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45551000/how-to-control-output-from-fbprophet to suppress the output.
@int-chaos for awareness.

It works like a charm, thank you Sonichi!

Just a little further step to completely ignore all messages from Prophet.
If you want to suppress this message:
INFO:prophet:Disabling daily seasonality. Run prophet with daily_seasonality=True to override this.
Which can add up a lot if your search is long then you can do it by setting the logging level higher than INFO for prophet:

import logging
logging.getLogger('prophet').setLevel(logging.WARNING) 

By combining this and your above solution, it is truly verbose = 0.

@good-morning-jeremy Thanks. What application do you use flaml for? Feel free to chat on gitter.
