bestlog 1.2

a simple python logger that logs to file and stdout

bestlog

this is a simple python logger that logs to file and stdout

I originally wanted to call it 'easylog' but there is already a package with that name on pypi

Install

$ pip install bestlog

Using

from bestlog import logger
import logging

log = logger.get("test")
# or
log = logging.getLogger("test")

def main():
    log.info("what the fuck")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logger.init("test")
    main()

output:

[2022-11-16 21:37:06,032][INFO]: what the fuck

you can find log file in the 'logs' folder of the current directory, one log file per day

Advance

from bestlog import logger
import logging

logger.default_log_path = "/var/log/test/"
logger.default_log_level = logging.DEBUG

log = logger.get("test")

def main():
    log.debug("what the fuck")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logger.init("test", backup_days = 30)
    main()

you can specify the path to save the log file

you can set how many days the log file will be retained, default 0 is unlimited

With tag

from bestlog import logger

class Worker:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.log = logger.get("test", name)

    def do_something(self):
        self.log.info("hello")

def main():
    worker1 = Worker("bob")
    worker2 = Worker("jack")
    worker1.do_something()
    worker2.do_something()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logger.init("test", tag = True)
    main()

output:

[2022-11-16 21:42:49,469][INFO][bob]: hello
[2022-11-16 21:42:49,470][INFO][jack]: hello

you can distinguish between the logs of different workers based on their tag
