logwrap 1.3.0

Decorator for logging function arguments by human-readable way

logwrap

logwrap is a helper for logging in human-readable format function arguments and call result on function call.

Pros:

• Free software: Apache license

• Open Source: https://github.com/penguinolog/logwrap

• PyPI packaged: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/logwrap

• Self-documented code: docstrings with types in comments

• Tested: see bages on top

• Support miltiple Python versions:

Python 2.7
Python 3.4
Python 3.5
Python 3.6
PyPy

This package also includes helpers:

• pretty_repr

• pretty_str

• PrettyFormat

Usage

logwrap

The main decorator. Could be used as not argumented (@logwrap.logwrap) and argumented (@logwrap.logwrap()). Not argumented usage simple calls with default values for all positions. Argumented usage with arguments from signature:

@logwrap.logwrap(
    log=logging.getLogger(__name__),  # __name__ = 'logwrap'
    log_level=logging.DEBUG,
    exc_level=logging.ERROR,
    max_indent=20,  # forwarded to the pretty_repr
    spec=None,  # use target callable function for spec
    blacklisted_names=None,  # list argument names, which should be dropped from log
)

Usage examples:

@logwrap.logwrap()
def foo():
    pass

is equal to:

@logwrap.logwrap
def foo():
    pass

Get decorator for use without parameters:

get_logs = logwap.logwrap()  # set required parameters via arguments

@get_logs
def foo():
    pass

Call example:

import logwrap

@logwrap.logwrap
def example_function1(
        arg1: str,
        arg2: str='arg2',
        *args,
        kwarg1: str,
        kwarg2: str='kwarg2',
        **kwargs
) -> tuple():
    return (arg1, arg2, args, kwarg1, kwarg2, kwargs)

example_function1('arg1', kwarg1='kwarg1', kwarg3='kwarg3')

This code during execution will produce log records:

Calling:
'example_function1'(
    # POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD:
    'arg1'=u'''arg1''',
    'arg2'=u'''arg2''',
    # VAR_POSITIONAL:
    'args'=(),
    # KEYWORD_ONLY:
    'kwarg1'=u'''kwarg1''',
    'kwarg2'=u'''kwarg2''',
    # VAR_KEYWORD:
    'kwargs'=
         dict({
            'kwarg3': u'''kwarg3''',
         }),
)
Done: 'example_function1' with result:

 tuple((
    u'''arg1''',
    u'''arg2''',
    (),
    u'''kwarg1''',
    u'''kwarg2''',
     dict({
        'kwarg3': u'''kwarg3''',
     }),
 ))

Limitations: * return value from awaitable objects (async def(…) is not accessible - on call asyncio object is returned.

• nested wrapping (@logwrap @deco2 …) is not parsed under python 2.7: funcsigs limitation. Please set logwrap as the first level decorator.

pretty_repr

This is specified helper for making human-readable repr on complex objects. Signature is self-documenting:

def pretty_repr(
    src,  # object for repr
    indent=0,  # start indent
    no_indent_start=False,  # do not indent the first level
    max_indent=20,  # maximum allowed indent level
    indent_step=4,  # step between indents
    py2_str=False,  # use bytes for python 2 __repr__ and __str__
)

Limitation: Dict like objects is always marked inside {} for readability, even if it is collections.OrderedDict (standard repr as list of tuples).

pretty_str

This is specified helper for making human-readable str on complex objects. Signature is self-documenting:

def pretty_str(
    src,  # object for __str__
    indent=0,  # start indent
    no_indent_start=False,  # do not indent the first level
    max_indent=20,  # maximum allowed indent level
    indent_step=4,  # step between indents
    py2_str=False,  # use bytes for python 2 __repr__ and __str__
)

Limitations:

Dict like objects is always marked inside {} for readability, even if it is collections.OrderedDict (standard repr as list of tuples).

Iterable types is not declared, only brackets is used.

String and bytes looks the same (its __str__, not __repr__).

PrettyFormat

PrettyFormat is the main formatting implementation class. on pretty_repr instance of this class is created and executed. This class is mostly exposed for typing reasons. Object signature:

def __init__(
    self,
    simple_formatters,  # Will be used to repr not complex. Keys is data types and 'default'.
    complex_formatters,  # Currently only legacy pretty_repr formatters is supported, will be extended in the future
    keyword='repr',  # Currently 'repr' is supported, will be extended in the future
    max_indent=20,  # maximum allowed indent level
    indent_step=4,  # step between indents
    py2_str=False,  # use bytes for python 2 __repr__ and __str__
)

Callable object (PrettyFormat instance) signature:

def __call__(
    self,
    src,  # object for repr
    indent=0,  # start indent
    no_indent_start=False  # do not indent the first level
)

Adopting your code

pretty_repr behavior could be overridden for your classes by implementing specific magic method:

def __pretty_repr__(
    self,
    parser  # PrettyFormat class instance,
    indent  # start indent,
    no_indent_start  # do not indent the first level
):
    return ...

This method will be executed instead of __repr__ on your object.

Testing

The main test mechanism for the package logwrap is using tox. Test environments available:

pep8
py27
py34
py35
py36
pypy
pylint
docs

CI systems

For code checking several CI systems is used in parallel:

1. Travis CI: is used for checking: PEP8, pylint, bandit, installation possibility and unit tests. Also it’s publishes coverage on coveralls.

2. coveralls: is used for coverage display.

CD system

Travis CI: is used for package delivery on PyPI.
