Key Features:

• Supports both file-based and console logging.
• Allows chronological organization of log files by year and month.
• Automatic log file cycling based on file size.
• Thread-safe operations for reliable logging.
• Customize your logs with configurable formatters.
• Can prefix log files with dates for easy tracking.

Usage:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

from logpie import Logger

log = Logger("my_logger")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    log.debug("Testing debug messages...")
    log.info("Testing info messages...")
    log.warning("Testing warning messages...")
    log.error("Testing error messages...")
    log.critical("Testing critical messages...")

Components:

class logpie.Logger

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
name	str	logpie	The name of the logger. The name of the logger cannot be changed after instantiation!
level	Level	NOTSET	The severity level for this logger.
handlers	Handler	StreamHandler	A handler or a tuple of handlers for this logger.

Methods:

• name

  A property that returns the name of the logger.

  NOTE:

  Cannot be changed after instantiation!

• level

  A property that returns the severity level used by the logger.

• level.setter

  Sets the attribute level of the logger to value. All other messages with severity level less than this value will be ignored. By default, the logger is instantiated with severity level NOTSET (0) and therefore all messages are logged.

  Available levels:

  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARNING
  • ERROR
  • CRITICAL

• handlers

  A property that returns the handlers used by the logger.

• handlers.setter

  Sets the logging handlers for the logger.

  Available handlers:

  • StreamHandler
  • FileHandler

• add_handler(value: Handler)

  Add a handler to the logger.

• remove_handler(value: Handler)

  Remove a handler from the logger.

• has_handlers

  Check if the logger instance has any handlers.

• close()

  Close the handlers of the logger and release the resources.

• debug(msg: str, *args, **kwargs)

  Log a msg % args with level DEBUG. To add exception info to the message use the exc_info keyword argument with a True value.

  Example:

  log.debug("Testing '%s' messages!", "DEBUG", exc_info=True)
  

  or

  log.debug("Testing '%(level)s' messages!", {"level": "DEBUG"}, exc_info=True)
  

• info(msg: str, *args, **kwargs)

  Log a msg % args with level INFO. To add exception info to the message use the exc_info keyword argument with a True value.

  Example:

  log.info("Testing '%s' messages!", "INFO", exc_info=True)
  

  or

  log.info("Testing '%(level)s' messages!", {"level": "INFO"}, exc_info=True)
  

• warning(msg: str, *args, **kwargs)

  Log a msg % args with level WARNING. To add exception info to the message use the exc_info keyword argument with a True value.

  Example:

  log.warning("Testing '%s' messages!", "WARNING", exc_info=True)
  

  or

  log.warning("Testing '%(level)s' messages!", {"level": "WARNING"}, exc_info=True)
  

• error(msg: str, *args, **kwargs)

  Log a msg % args with level ERROR. To add exception info to the message use the exc_info keyword argument with a True value.

  Example:

  try:
      raise TypeError("Type error occurred!")
  except TypeError:
      log.error("Action failed!", exc_info=True)
  

  or

  try:
      raise TypeError("Type error occurred!")
  except TypeError as type_error:
      log.error("Action failed!", exc_info=type_error)
  

• critical(msg: str, *args, **kwargs)

  Log a msg % args with level CRITICAL. To add exception info to the message use the exc_info keyword argument with a True value.

  Example:

  try:
      raise TypeError("Critical error occurred!")
  except TypeError:
      log.critical("Action failed!", exc_info=True)
  

  or

  try:
      raise TypeError("Critical error occurred!")
  except TypeError as critical_error:
      log.critical("Action failed!", exc_info=critical_error)
  

Handlers:

By default, the logger streams all messages to the console output sys.stdout using the StreamHandler() handler. To log messages into a file we must use the FileHandler() handler.

To use a different handler or more:

from logpie import Logger, StreamHandler, FileHandler

console = StreamHandler()
file = FileHandler("my_log_file.log")

log = Logger("my_logger", handlers=(console, file))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    log.debug("Logging debug messages!")

class logpie.StreamHandler

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
formatter	Formatter	None	Formatter object used to format the log messages.
handle	TextIO	None	The handle used to output the messages to the console.

Methods:

• handle

  A property that returns the handle in use.

• handle.setter

  Set the handle used by the handler.

• emit(row: Row)

  Emit a log row. This method acquires the thread lock and passes the log row formatted as a string to the write() method.

• write(message: str)

  Write the log message using the given handle.

class logpie.FileHandler

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
filename	str	None	Name of the file to write logs into.
mode	str	a	Mode of file opening: a for appending and w for truncating the file.
encoding	str	UTF-8	Encoding of the file.
max_size	int	(1024 ** 2) * 4 (4 MB)	Maximum size of the log file, in bytes. If cycle is enabled, when the file reaches the maximum size, the handler will switch to another file by incrementing the index with 1.
cycle	bool	False	Whether to cycle files when maximum size is reached. When the file reaches the maximum size, the handler will switch to another file by incrementing the index with 1.
chronological	bool	False	Whether to sort files chronologically.
date_prefix	bool	False	Whether to add date prefix to filename.
date_aware	bool	False	Whether to use date awareness to the log file. If date_prefix is enabled this will enforce the current date to be used rather than the date when the handler was created.
formatter	Formatter	None	Formatter object to format the logs.

When chronological is enabled, the folder tree is by default structured as follows:

.
└─logs
    └─year (ex: 2022)
        └─month (ex: january)
            ├─2022-08-01_logpie.1.log
            ├─2022-08-01_logpie.2.log
            └─2022-08-01_logpie.3.log

Methods:

• emit(row: Row)

  Emit a log row. This method acquires the thread lock and passes the log row formatted as a string to the write() method.

• write(message: str)

  Write a log message into the file.

class logpie.Formatter

The log rows are formatted with the help of the Formatter class.

Example:

from logpie import Logger, FileHandler, Formatter

# here we're also adding a new field (e.g. 'ip') used by the 'extra' keyword arguments.
my_formatter = Formatter(
    row="${timestamp} - ${ip} - ${level} - ${source}: ${message}",
    timestamp="[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f]",
    stack="<${file}, ${line}, ${code}>",
)
my_handler = FileHandler("my_log_file.log", formatter=my_formatter)
log = Logger("my_logger", handlers=my_handler)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # here we are passing the 'ip' keyword argument for the 'extra' field
    log.debug("Testing 'DEBUG' messages!", ip="192.168.1.100")

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
row	str	'${timestamp} - ${level} - ${source}: ${message}'	The row formatting template. This template uses the string.Template style with placeholders (e.g. ${field}).
time	str	'[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f]'	The timestamp formatting template. This template uses the datetime.strftime() style (e.g. %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f).
stack	str	'<${file}, ${line}, ${code}>'	The stack info formatting template. This template uses the string.Template style with placeholders (e.g. ${field}).

Methods:

• as_string(row: Row)

  Format a given row into a string based on predefined templates.
