mlzlog 0.2.0

Useful common logging functionality by MLZ

mlzlog is a collection of common logging functionality developed and used at MLZ.

Usage

Before you do any logging, initiate the mlz logging via:

initLogging(rootname='mlz', rootlevel='info', logdir='/var/log')

That will set up a global root logger (accesible via mlzlog.log) and attach handlers for colored console output and logfiles (in a nice version).

To get a new logger just use getChild on another logger (e.g. mlzlog.log):

# ownDir creates a new subdirectory for the desired logger name
mlzlog.log.getChild('mysublogger', ownDir=True)
