Introduction

Djalog provides ready-to-use logger. This is very simple logging wrapper, if you are looking for something more decent try django-logging.

Installation

In order to install Djalog you may use pip:

pip install Djalog

… or setuptools, if you prefer:

easy_install Djalog

Note that Djalog requires logging module which is available from Python 2.3.

Usage

If you want to quickly check how djalog works, go into your favorite python shell and type:

import djalog
import logging

logging.debug("Log some debug information.")
logging.info("Log some information.")
logging.warn("Log some warning.")
logging.error("Log some error.")
logging.critical("Log some critical information.")

from djalog import configure
configure(LOG_USE_COLORS=True, LOG_SQL=True, LOG_LEVEL=5)

logging.debug("Log some debug information.")
logging.info("Log some information.")
logging.warn("Log some warning.")
logging.error("Log some error.")
logging.critical("Log some critical information.")

# Log sql query
logging.sql("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin'")

From this example you can see that changing settings for djalog utility can be done with djalog.configure method.

How does it work

Djalog is simplest possible approach for Django logging. In fact, it can be easily used outside of the Django context (see example at the Usage section).
