Latest release 20230331: New open_append to handle idiotic Linux do-not-open-tty-for-append semantics.

Function debug(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for debug() which does a deferred import.

Function error(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for error() which does a deferred import.

Function exception(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for exception() which does a deferred import.

Function info(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for info() which does a deferred import.

Function log(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for log() which does a deferred import.

Function open_append(path)

Ghastly hack to open something for append entirely because some Linux systems do not let you open a character device for append. Tries sane 'a' and falls back through 'r+' and finally to 'w' only if path refers to a character device.

Function trace(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for info() which does a deferred import.

Function warning(*a, **kw)

Wrapper for warning() which does a deferred import.
