nanolog 0.1.2

python logging on steroids, lightweight and convenient

nanolog

Life is too short. Use nanolog to make logging and printing simpler!

nanolog features a convenient logger API built on top of python’s builtin logging.

The library also ships with many printing utilities. Python 3 only.

Installation

From stable package on PyPI

pip install nanolog

From bleeding edge master branch

pip install git+git://github.com/SurrealAI/nanolog.git

nanolog.Logger

import nanolog as nl

logger = nl.Logger.create_logger(
    'main',
    stream='out',
    level='debug',
)

logger.info('my', 3, 'world', 1/16.)  # just like print
# >>> my 3 world 0.0625

logger.warningfmt('{}, we are {:.3f} miles from {planet}',
                  'Houston', 17/7, planet='Mars')  # just like str.format
# >>> Houston, we are 2.429 miles from Mars

Use a trailing number to indicate level, the larger the higher priority

logger.info7(...)  # info level 7
logger.errorfmt8(...)  # error level 8

Display a banner line or block

logger.infobanner3('my', 3, 'world', symbol='!', banner_len=16, banner_lines=3)

prints:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!! my 3 world !!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, banner method also comes with a str.format version

logger.debugbannerfmt(
    '{3}&{0}&{2}&{1}', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd',
    symbol='<*_*>', banner_len=16, banner_lines=6
)

displays:

<*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*>
<*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*>
<*_*><*_ d&a&c&b <*_*><*_
<*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*>
<*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*>
<*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*><*_*>

Prettyprint support (uses the thirdparty lib prettyprinter)

logger.infopp7(...)
logger.warningppfmt('my warning {:.3f} format {:.2f} string', 1/7., 1/9.)

Printing utililites

prettyprint

Better alternatives for the pprint module in python standard lib.

• pprint: takes variable number of objects, just like print()

• pprintstr: return string instead of printing to IO stream

• pprintfmt: just like print('...'.format)

• pprintfmtstr: return string instead of printing to IO stream

Convenient aliases (pp stands for prettyprint; a single p means normal print)

short	original
pf	printfmt
pferr	printfmterr
pstr	printstr
perr	printerr
pp	pprint
ppstr	pprintstr
ppf	pprintfmt
ppfstr	pprintfmtstr
