env-logger 0.4.1

The easy way to configure logging

Env Logger

A replacement for the standard library logging.basicConfig, with some extra bells and whistles.

Value proposition

Nice defaults

It uses subjectively nicer defaults e.g. by using a handler that colors the output.

Multiple configuration sources

It allows users to override the configuration environment variables e.g. like

LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG \
LOG_FORMAT='%(levelname)8s %(message)s' \
env_logger demo

In general, the name of the environment variable follows the name of the basicConfig parameter and takes the same values.

Ecosystem

The package is designed to be compatible with rich e.g. like

import logging
import env_logger
import rich.logging

env_logger.configure(handlers=[rich.logging.RichHandler()])
logging.getLogger(__name__).info("Hello!")

Contribute

For Linux like environments the ambition is that setting up a development environment should be as easy as

source ./init_env.sh
make install_deps_py

Important workflows are documented in the Makefile and can be listed with make help.

Prerequisites

• Python e.g. by
  1. installing pyenv following these instructions, and
  2. installing the targeted python version(s) like pyenv install
