printx

printx is a Python package that provides a convenient print-like function for logging messages with various log levels, making it easy to integrate logging into your projects.

Installation

You can install printx via pip:

pip install printx

Usage

from printx import printx_configure, printx

# Configure logging (optional: specify a custom log filename)
printx_configure()

# Use the printx function
printx("This is a default info message")
printx("This is a debug message", log_level='debug')
printx("This is an info message", log_level='info')
printx("This is a warning message", log_level='warning')
printx("This is an error message", log_level='error')
printx("This is a critical message", log_level='critical')

def example_function():
    try:
        printx("Starting the function")
        printx("Performing an action")
        error_condition = True  # Simulate an error condition
        if error_condition:
            raise ValueError("An error occurred")
        printx("Function finished")
    except Exception as e:
        printx(f"Exception occurred: {e}", log_level='error')

Configuration

The printx_configure function allows you to configure the logging settings. By default, it logs messages to a file named after the script that uses the printx function and to the console.

To configure logging:

from printx import printx_configure

Configure logging with default settings

printx_configure()

Configure logging with a custom log filename

printx_configure(log_filename='custom_log.log')

Configure logging with a different log level

printx_configure(level=logging.WARNING)

The printx_configure function accepts the following parameters:

• log_filename (str, optional): The name of the log file. If not provided, the default is the script's name with a .log extension.
• level (int, optional): The logging level. Default is logging.DEBUG.
