oshtools 0.1.6

A simple Python logging library for chat applications

OSH Logger

A simple Python logging library for chat applications, with support for both local development and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.

Features

• Dual Environment Support: Automatically detects and configures logging for local development and GCP environments
• Colored Local Output: Beautiful, colored terminal output with proper text wrapping in local development environment
• Structured GCP Logging: Labelled logs and structured output on GCP, with ability to filter by a Logger instance's name
• Thread-Safe: Supports logging with thread IDs for concurrent applications
• Configurable Timestamps: Enable/disable timestamps as needed

Installation

Basic Installation

pip install oshtools

With Google Cloud Support

pip install oshtools[gcp]

Quick Start

from osh import Logger

# Create a separate logger instance for each module
logger = Logger("main")

# Pass in a thread ID to the contructor
# The thread ID is a unique identifier that can help trace requests on GCP
logger = Logger("utils", "123")

# Basic logging
logger.log("Application started")
logger.info("Processing complete")
logger.debug("Debug information")
logger.warn("Warning message")
logger.error("Error occurred")

# Log and add a thread ID dynamically
logger.log("Processing request", thread_id="thread-123")

# Structured logging (useful for GCP)
logger.struct_log("User action", user_id="123", action="login", level=logging.INFO)

Environment Detection

The logger automatically detects the environment:

• GCP Environment: Detected by presence of K_SERVICE or GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variables
• Local Environment: Uses colored terminal output with proper formatting

Log Types

The logger supports several log types with different colors and levels:

• log() - General information (cyan)
• info() - Informational messages (blue)
• runtime() - Runtime information (bright magenta)
• think() - Thinking/processing logs (light blue)
• debug() - Debug information (green)
• warn() - Warnings (yellow)
• error() - Errors (red)
• critical() - Critical errors (bright red)

Configuration

Timestamps

logger = Logger("my-app")
logger.set_timestamps(False)  # Disable timestamps
logger.set_timestamps(True)   # Enable timestamps

Log Levels

import logging
logger = Logger("my-app", level=logging.DEBUG)

Google Cloud Platform Integration

When running in GCP (Cloud Run, App Engine, etc.), the logger automatically:

• Uses Google Cloud Logging handlers
• Adds structured metadata and labels
• Includes logger names and thread IDs in labels
• Maintains local CLI formatting for debugging

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• google-cloud-logging (optional, for GCP support)
