Install

The easy way is by using pip

pip install phk-logger

The harder way is from sources

git clone https://github.com/proh4cktive/phk-logger.git
cd phk-logger
python install setup.py

Usage

PHK-Logger is a lib so you just have to import it when needed

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from phk_logger import PHKLogger as Logger

Then in your code you can instantiate it directly

logger = Logger(name='mytest', cli=True)

And use it when needed

logger.info('This is an info message') # Will not be printed as default level is Warning
logger.write('A blue warning', level='warning', color='blue')

Options

PHK-Logger is configred by default to output log event to your SysLog sub-system (Only supports Linux/MacOS). Some additional options can be set in order to change this behaviour.

• name Set a specific name to your logger stream, by default will use the __name__ var.
• level Set the log level, must be a level from logging package
• filename If set phk-logger will output events to a specific filename using TimedRotatingFileHandler configured with a file rotating every midnight, and 3 backup files
• backup Only used if filename is configured, specifiy the number of backup to keep
• when Only used if filename is configured, specify when to execute the file rotation
• cli If set to True this will also output log event to command line interface (CLI). Only useful for debugging app.
• pattern Define the log pattern to use for event output. Default is %(name)s %(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(message)s

Methods

Several methods can be used to generate event logs, they all support the same options (only usefuls when using cli flag):

• msg: the message to output
• color: override the default color
• light: override the light mode

• debug(msg, color='blue', light=True) output event with prefix: [*]
• info(msg, color='green', light=False) output event with prefix: [+]
• warning(msg, color='yellow', light=False) output event with prefix: [-]
• error(msg, color='red', light=False) output event with prefix: [!]
• critical(msg, color='red', light=True) output event with prefix: [!]

An additional method is accessible which support a level parameter

• write(message, level=None, color=None, light=None)
