Argparse_logging

This is a simple library to configure logging from command line argument when using argparse.

Without argparse_logging:

from argparse import ArgumentParser

parser = ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument(
    "--log-level", 
    default=logging.INFO, 
    type=lambda x: getattr(logging, x)),
    help="Configure the logging level.",
)
args = parser.parse_args()
logging.basicConfig(level=args.log_level)

This is a bit annoying to copy paste in every program.

Instead you can use argparse_logging to get the following:

from argparse import ArgumentParser
from argparse_logging import add_log_level_argument

parser = ArgumentParser()
add_log_level_argument(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()
