Features

• Structured JSON Logging: Consistent JSON format with fixed field order for easy parsing
• Environment-Driven Configuration: Configure via environment variables for different deployment environments
• Real-Time Development Support: Immediate log flushing for real-time debugging
• Singleton Pattern: Consistent logger configuration across your entire application
• Thread-Safe: Safe for use in multi-threaded applications
• Graceful Error Handling: Continues operation even when log directories can't be created

Quick Start

Installation

pip install mypylogger

Basic Usage

import mypylogger

# Get the configured logger
logger = mypylogger.get_logger()

# Log some messages
logger.info("Application started")
logger.debug("Processing user request")
logger.warning("Low disk space")
logger.error("Failed to connect to database")

JSON Output

Log entries are written as JSON to logs/{APP_NAME}_{YYYY_MM_DD}.log:

{"time": "2024-01-15T10:30:45.123Z", "levelname": "INFO", "message": "Application started", "filename": "main.py", "lineno": "42", "funcName": "main"}
{"time": "2024-01-15T10:30:45.456Z", "levelname": "ERROR", "message": "Failed to connect to database", "filename": "main.py", "lineno": "45", "funcName": "connect"}

Configuration

Configure the logger using environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
APP_NAME	Application name (used for logger name and log file prefix)	"default_app"
LOG_LEVEL	Minimum log level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)	"INFO"
EMPTY_LOG_FILE_ON_RUN	Truncate log file on startup (true/false)	false
PARALLEL_STDOUT_LOGGING	Enable stdout logging with minimum level, or "false" to disable	"false"

Configuration Examples

Development Environment

export APP_NAME="my_app"
export LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG"
export PARALLEL_STDOUT_LOGGING="INFO"
export EMPTY_LOG_FILE_ON_RUN="true"

Production Environment

export APP_NAME="my_app_prod"
export LOG_LEVEL="WARNING"
export PARALLEL_STDOUT_LOGGING="false"
export EMPTY_LOG_FILE_ON_RUN="false"

Advanced Usage

Using the Singleton Directly

from mypylogger import SingletonLogger

# Get logger instance
logger = SingletonLogger.get_logger()

# Check current log level
current_level = SingletonLogger.get_effective_level()
if current_level <= SingletonLogger.DEBUG:
    logger.debug("Debug logging is enabled")

Custom Configuration

from mypylogger.config import LogConfig

# Create custom configuration
config = LogConfig(
    app_name="custom_app",
    log_level="DEBUG",
    empty_log_file_on_run=True,
    parallel_stdout_logging="WARNING"
)

# Configuration is automatically loaded from environment
# when using get_logger()

Working with Log Files

Log files are automatically created in the logs/ directory with the format:

logs/{APP_NAME}_{YYYY_MM_DD}.log

Examples:

• logs/my_app_2024_01_15.log
• logs/production_service_2024_01_15.log

Development Features

Real-Time Log Visibility

The ImmediateFlushFileHandler ensures log entries are immediately written to disk:

logger.info("This message appears in the log file immediately")
# No need to wait for buffer flush or program exit

Parallel Stdout Logging

Enable console output alongside file logging for development:

export PARALLEL_STDOUT_LOGGING="DEBUG"

logger.info("This appears in both the log file (JSON) and console (text)")

Log File Management

Control log file behavior:

# Truncate log file on each run (useful for development)
export EMPTY_LOG_FILE_ON_RUN="true"

# Append to existing log file (useful for production)
export EMPTY_LOG_FILE_ON_RUN="false"

Thread Safety

The logger is fully thread-safe and uses the singleton pattern:

import threading
import mypylogger

def worker_function(worker_id):
    logger = mypylogger.get_logger()  # Same instance across all threads
    logger.info(f"Worker {worker_id} started")

# Create multiple threads - they all share the same logger instance
threads = []
for i in range(10):
    thread = threading.Thread(target=worker_function, args=(i,))
    threads.append(thread)
    thread.start()

for thread in threads:
    thread.join()

Error Handling

The library gracefully handles various error conditions:

• Missing log directory: Automatically creates the logs/ directory
• Permission errors: Continues operation without file logging if directory can't be created
• Invalid configuration: Uses sensible defaults for invalid environment variable values
• Handler failures: Continues with available handlers if some fail to initialize

JSON Schema

Log entries follow this JSON schema:

{
  "time": "2024-01-15T10:30:45.123Z",     // UTC timestamp with milliseconds
  "levelname": "INFO",                     // Log level name
  "message": "Application started",        // Log message
  "filename": "main.py",                   // Source filename
  "lineno": "42",                         // Line number (as string)
  "funcName": "main"                      // Function name
}
