dlf4p 1.1.1

Dexoron Logging Framework for Python

dlf4p — Dexoron Logging Framework for Python

dlf4p is a lightweight and convenient logger for Python inspired by SLF4J. It provides a simple API for logging messages with support for log levels, colored console output, timestamps, and file logging.

The project is being developed as part of the DLF (Dexoron Logging Framework) family, with plans for implementations in other programming languages.

Features

• Log levels: DEBUG, INFO, SUCCESS, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL
• Colored console output
• Timestamp support
• Prefix support (e.g., module or component name)
• File logging
• Simple configuration via setup()
• Lightweight and with no external dependencies

---

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install dlf4p

---

Quick Start

import dlf4p as dlf 

dlf.setup(time=True, color=True, simple=False, file_logging=True)

dlf.info("Application started", "Main")
dlf.success("Server successfully started", "Server")
dlf.warning("Slow response", "API")
dlf.error("Database connection error", "Database")
dlf.fatal("Critical error", "System")

Example console output:

[12:30:10] [Main/INFO]: Application started
[12:30:11] [Server/SUCCESS]: Server successfully started
[12:30:12] [API/WARNING]: Slow response
[12:30:13] [Database/ERROR]: Database connection error
[12:30:14] [System/FATAL]: Critical error

Logs are saved to a file without ANSI color codes.

Configuration

The setup() function is used to configure the logger:

dlf.setup(
    time=True,        # show timestamp
    color=True,       # enable colored output
    simple=False,     # simplified log format (without prefixes)
    file_logging=True # enable file logging
)

Parameters:

• time — enable or disable timestamps
• color — enable or disable colors
• simple — disable prefixes
• file_logging — enable writing logs to a file

---

Philosophy

dlf4p is inspired by SLF4J (Simple Logging Facade for Java) and aims to:

• provide a simple and unified logging interface
• remain minimalistic
• have no external dependencies
• be easily extensible to other programming languages
