funlog 0.1.2

Simple, useful decorators for logging and tallying function calls

funlog

funlog is a tiny but useful package that offers a few Python decorators to log function calls, with good control over what gets logged and when.

It also times the function call and logs arguments briefly but clearly, abbreviating arguments like long strings or dataclasses.

It is fully customizable with optional decorator arguments. You can log only slow calls, only if a function modifies its first argument, or tally calls and log them later.

I'm publishing it standalone since I often like to drop this into projects. It's often even faster than quick print-debugging and it lets you do very lightweight profiling by getting when certain functions are taking a lot of time and tallies of function calls and runtimes per function after a program runs a while or at exit.

Minimal dependencies (only the tiny strif).

Installation

pip install funlog

Usage

Suppose you have a few functions:

import time
import logging
from funlog import log_calls, log_tallies, tally_calls

# Set up logging however you like.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format="%(levelname)s:%(message)s", force=True)


@log_calls()
def add(a, b):
    return a + b


@tally_calls()
def sleep(n):
    time.sleep(0.01 * n)


@tally_calls()
def fibonacci(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    sleep(n)
    return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)


@log_calls()
def long_range(n):
    time.sleep(0.01 * n)
    return " ".join(str(i) for i in range(int(n)))


# Now call the functions.
long_range(fibonacci(add(add(5, 5), 2)))

log_tallies()

Running that gives you:
