logkontrol 0.2.1

Custom file logging system for Python applications

LogKontrol

LogKontrol is a Python library designed to provide flexible and configurable logging capabilities across different modules of a Python application. It supports file and console logging, with easy customization through a YAML configuration file.

Features

• File logging: with automatic file creation
• Configurable: logging levels and message formats
• Versatile: Support for logging plain messages, variable states, function calls, and JSON content
• Debugging: Optional console output for immediate debugging

Installation

To install LogKontrol, run the following command:

pip install logkontrol

You can also clone this repository and install it directly from the source:

git clone https://github.com/voidfemme/logkontrol.git
cd logkontrol
pip install .

Usage

Here's a quick example to get you started with LogKontrol:

from logkontrol.logkontrol import LogKonfig, log_message

# Initialize the logging system
log_konfig = LogKonfig()
log_konfig.init_logging()

# Log a simple message
log_message('general', 'Hello, world!')

Configuration

LogKontrol is highly customizable through a simple YAML configuration file. Here's an example configuration:

log_file_paths:
  general: 'logs/general.log'
  errors: 'logs/errors.log'
  debug: 'logs/debug.log'
log_format: '[{timestamp}] [{level}] {message}'
timestamp_format: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
log_level: 'INFO'
console_output: True

Or, specify a different configuration file during initialization:

log_konfig.init_logging(config_file_path='path/to/your/config.yaml')

To add your own logging categories, simply add a new entry under 'log_file_paths' in the YAML file. For example, to add an audit trail log, you might add:

audit: 'logs/audit.log'

This allows you to tailor the logging system to suit the needs of your application with minimal effort.
