Logbook 0.2.1

A logging replacement for Python

An awesome logging implementation that is fun to use.

Quickstart

from logbook import Logger
log = Logger('A Fancy Name')

log.warn('Logbook is too awesome for most applications')
log.error("Can't touch this")

Works for web apps too

from logbook import MailHandler, Processor

mailhandler = MailHandler(from_addr='[e-mail]',
                          recipients=['[e-mail]'],
                          level='ERROR', format_string=u'''\
Subject: Application Error for {record.extra[path]} [{record.extra[method]}]

Message type:       {record.level_name}
Location:           {record.filename}:{record.lineno}

def handle_request(request):
    def inject_extra(record, handler):
        record.extra['ip'] = request.remote_addr
        record.extra['method'] = request.method
        record.extra['path'] = request.path

    with Processor(inject_extra):
        with mailhandler:
            # execute code that might fail in the context of the
            # request.
