parser201 1.3.0

Extract individual fields from lines in Apache access logs

Features

The centerpiece of the parser201 module is the LogParser class. The class initializer takes a single line from an Apache access log file and extracts the individual fields into attributes within an object.

Installation

pip3 install parser201

Usage

The most common use-case for parser201 is importing individual lines from an Apache access log file and creating LogParser objects, like this:

from parser201 import LogParser

with open('access.log', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        lp = LogParser(line)
        # Use lp as desired: add to List, Dictionary, etc.
