log-everywhere 0.0.1

Logging package to enable writing all program information with corresponding datetime to multiple, DIFFERENT files safely when running multiple threads (multi-threading).

log-everywhere Python API

Installing the package

Enter the following in your command line:

# if something isn't working properly, try rerunning this
# the problem may have been fixed with a newer version

pip3 install -U log-everywhere     # MacOS/Linux
pip  install -U log-everywhere     # Windows

Using the log-everywhere package

python3     # MacOS/Linux
python      # Windows

from log_everywhere import yield_logger
from log_everywhere import log

def do_important_things(log_locations):
    num = 1 + 1
    log(f'This function calculated num to be: {num}', log_locations)
    product = num * 2
    log(f'This function calculated the product of num multiplied by 2 to be: {product}', log_locations)
    log( 'This function is now closing...', log_locations)

def main():
    with yield_logger('name_of_my_log_file', log_silently=False) as log_locations:
        do_important_things(log_locations)

main()

To see why Python Standard Library's logging module was insufficient and creating a custom logger was necessary, see this modification in the yt_videos_list package. NOTE that the exact implementation differed slighlty in this commit (yield_logger() was named yield_file_writer()), and support for logging to both the console AND the log file wasn't added until this commit

Direct link to commits:

• Simplify logging via custom context manager text writer
• Always log to log file but allow console logging muting

To see more interesting logging modifications, see the significantly improves logging section nested within the details section of the yt_videos_list package 0.5.0 Release page!
