Suppress or remove python tabula-py warnings

Question

I have python code using tabula-py for reading PDF to extract the text and then change it to tabular form via tabula-py. But it gives me a warning.

Nov 15, 2017 3:40:23 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDSimpleFont toUnicode
WARNING: No Unicode mapping for .notdef (9) in font Helvetica

This warning is of tabula-py, And Tabula-py is written in Java. So I cannot simply use -W ignore to suppress the above warning.

Is there any way to remove or suppress the above warning.

tabula-py author is here. Setting silent=True suppresses the tabula-java logs. see also: https://github.com/chezou/tabula-py/blob/e11d6f0ac518810b6d92b60a815e34f32f6bf085/tabula/io.py#L65 https://tabula-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tabula.html#tabula.io.build_options
