letslog 0.0.5

A logger package

letslog

This is a log module for people to log for their programs

Required Packages

datetime, logging, pathlib

Available Levels

INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL

Constructor

letslog.Letslog constructor takes in 2 arguments with default option, one is logPath which states which folder that we want our log files to be put in, the other is absolute to indicate whether the first argument is an absolute path.

The default value for logPath is ..\log relative to the current working directory.
The default value for absolute is True.

For example: If the current working directory is ~\Documents\my_program\src, and we want to initiate a log file at an already created folder ~\Documents\my_program\log
The following code sample can achieve such goal:

ll1 = letslog.Letslog()                                 # Uses default arguments
ll2 = letslog.Letslog('..\log', absolute=False)         # Uses relative path   
ll3 = letslog.Letslog('~\Documents\my_program\log')     # Uses absolute path  

File Name

when we call ll.initiateLogger('logger_id', 'INFO'), we create a log with name <current datetime>+<logger_id>.log

Usage

import letslog

ll = letslog.Letslog()                                  # Sets the log file location to default location
ll.initiateLogger('logger_id', 'INFO')                  # The created log file will be at '~\Documents\my_program\log\2020-06-24_203352logger_id.log'
ll.setLevel('WARNING')                                  # We could change the level of this logger
ll.log('This is a warning!')                            # We could write a message to the logger using current logger level
