logg3r 2.0.1

Simple python log helper

Overview

• Setting up logging sucks, this makes it easier

Features

• Simple logger set up
• Creates log directory and filename as described in Log initialization
• Prints all log entries to the terminal in color for easier debugging
• Promotes logging during development, not after. Reduce your tech debt.

Use

Standard Use

from logg3r import Log

logger = Log(log_path="./path-to/log-directory", name="test_log", level=1)

logger.debug("test message")
logger.info("test message")
logger.warning("test message")
logger.error("test message")
logger.critical("test message")

Log file example test_log.log

2023-07-29 03:13:27 | DEBUG | test message
2023-07-29 03:13:27 | INFO | test message
2023-07-29 03:13:27 | WARNING | test message
2023-07-29 03:13:27 | ERROR | test message
2023-07-29 03:13:27 | CRITICAL | test message

Terminal Example

Log with line numbers - recommended

from logg3r import Log

logger = Log(log_path="./path-to/log-directory", name="test_log", level=1)
line = logger.line #must be called from the line being logged


logger.debug(line()+"test message")
logger.info(line()+"test message")
logger.warning(line()+"test message")
logger.error(line()+"test message")
logger.critical(line()+"test message")

Log file example test_log.log

2023-07-29 03:30:25 | DEBUG | 7 test message
2023-07-29 03:30:25 | INFO | 8 test message
2023-07-29 03:30:25 | WARNING | 9 test message
2023-07-29 03:30:25 | ERROR | 10 test message
2023-07-29 03:30:25 | CRITICAL | 11 test message

Terminal Example

Initialization Keyword Arguments

Required

log_path (string)

• If the path does not exist (and create_path is not False) logg3r will create the directory

name (string)

• Sets the name of your log file - file will present as "filename.log" in your log directory

level (integer)

• See log levels
• Sets minimum level of log message that will be stored in the log file (all log function calls print to terminal)

Optional

print_filename (bool)

from logg3r import Log

Logger = Log(log_path="./path-to/log-directory",
			name="test_log",
			level=1,
			print_filename=True)

• Defaults to False
• If enabled, the filename will print in the first section of the log message in the terminal - the filename will not be written to the log file

formatter (string)

from logg3r import Log
fmt='{} | %(levelname)s | %(message)s '.format(datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(microsecond=0))

Logger = Log(log_path="./path-to/log-directory",
			name="test_log",
			level=1,
			formatter=fmt)

• The formatter can be any string you like
  • %(levelname)s is required and corresponds to the log level
  • %(message)s is required and is the message passed when calling any of the log functions
  • In the example above the date and time are represented at {} and formatted with .format(datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(microsecond=0))
  • Any other string elements can be added to the formatter

rotation (tuple)

from logg3r import Log
rotation_args=filename,when='d',interval=30,backupCount=1,encoding=None,delay=False,utc=True,atTime=datetime.time(4, 0, 0)

Logger = Log(log_path="./path-to/log-directory,
			name="test_log",
			level=1,
			rotation=rotation_args)

• See Python Logging TimedRotatingFileHandler
• Defaults to 30 days of retention with (1) log overflow file (log.1)

create_path (bool)

• Defaults to True
• If set to False initializing logg3r will not create a new log directory, but will put the file in the directory passed to log_path

Log Levels

• 1 = DEBUG (green)
• 2 = INFO (cyan)
• 3 = WARNING (yellow)
• 4 = ERROR (magenta)
• 5 = CRITICAL (red)

logg3r.Log Functions

.debug

• Creates debug level log message entry to log file
• Prints message in color to terminal

logger.debug("log message")

.info

• Creates info level log message entry to log file
• Prints message in color to terminal

logger.info("log message")

.warning

• Creates warning level log message entry to log file
• Prints message in color to terminal

logger.warning("log message")

.error

• Creates error level log message entry to log file
• Prints message in color to terminal

logger.error("log message")

.critical

• Creates critical level log message entry to log file
• Prints message in color to terminal

logger.critical("log message")

.line

• Returns line number of the code where the function is called - unfortunately this couldn't be integrated automatically because the function must be called from the line being logged

line = logger.line
logger.debug(line()+"log_message")
