eliot 0.4.0

Logging as Storytelling

Eliot provides a structured logging and tracing system for Python that generates log messages describing a forest of nested actions. Actions start and eventually finish, successfully or not. Log messages thus tell a story: what happened and what caused it.

Features:

• Structured, typed log messages.

• Ability to log actions, not just point-in-time information: log messages become a trace of program execution.

• Excellent support for unit testing your logging code.

• Emphasis on performance, including no blocking I/O in logging code path.

• Optional Twisted support.

• Designed for JSON output, usable by Logstash/Elasticsearch.

• Supports CPython 2.7, 3.3 and PyPy.

Eliot is released by HybridCluster under the Apache 2.0 License.

To install:

$ pip install eliot
