openlog 1.1.0

Open-source minimal Rich-based logging solution

OpenLog

A versatile Python logging utility with rich console output and file logging capabilities.

Features

• Color-coded console output using Rich
• Optional file logging with session-based or persistent log files
• Multiple log levels (INFO, ERROR, WARN, INIT)
• In-memory log storage with flush capability

Installation

pip install openlog

Quick Start

from openlog import Logger

# Basic console-only logger
logger = Logger()
logger.log("This is an info message")
logger.error("Something went wrong")
logger.warn("This is a warning")
logger.init("System initialized")

# Logger with file output
file_logger = Logger(write_to_file=True)
file_logger.log("This message goes to console and file")

# Session-based logging (new log file for each session)
session_logger = Logger(write_to_file=True, session=True)
session_logger.log("Logged with timestamp in filename")

# Store logs in a specific directory
dir_logger = Logger(in_dir=True, write_to_file=True)
dir_logger.log("Logs stored in /logs directory")

# Using custom prefixes for better log organization
module_logger = Logger(prefix="DATABASE")
module_logger.log("Connected to database")  # Will show as "[DATABASE] Connected to database"

# Retrieve logs programmatically
logs = file_logger.flush_logs()
all_logs = file_logger.flush_logs(from_start=True)

Log Levels

• log() - General information (blue)
• error() - Error messages (red)
• warn() - Warning messages (yellow)
• init() - Initialization messages (purple)

Configuration

The Logger class accepts the following parameters:

• in_dir (bool): Store logs in a '/logs' directory
• session (bool): Create unique log files with timestamps
• write_to_file (bool): Enable file logging
• prefix (str): Optional prefix added to all log messages (e.g., module name, component identifier)
