Async Logging for Python

alogging

alogging is a Python library that provides asynchronous logging capabilities. It is designed to work with the standard Python logging module, but adds asynchronous functionality to improve performance in applications that make heavy use of logging.

Features

• Asynchronous logging: Log messages are processed in a separate process to avoid blocking the main application.
• Compatibility: Works with the standard Python logging module, so you can use all the features and handlers you're familiar with.
• Flexibility: Provides a variety of handlers, including RotatingFileHandler, HTTPHandler, SMTPHandler, SysLogHandler, and more.

Usage

To use alogging, you first need to start the backend process. This can be done using the start_backend method:

import asyncio
import alogging

asyncio.run(alogging.start_backend())

You can then get a logger and use it just like you would with the standard logging module:

log = alogging.getLogger("my_logger")
log.info("This is an info message")

You can also configure the logger using the basicConfig function:

alogging.basicConfig(
    filename="test.log",
    level=alogging.DEBUG,
    format="%(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s",
)

Handlers

alogging provides a variety of handlers that you can use to control where your log messages go. These include:

• RotatingFileHandler: Writes log messages to a file, with support for automatic rotation when the file reaches a certain size.
• HTTPHandler: Sends log messages to a web server as HTTP POST requests.
• SMTPHandler: Sends log messages to an email address using SMTP.
• SysLogHandler: Sends log messages to a Unix syslog daemon.

To use a handler, you need to create an instance of it and add it to your logger:

handler = alogging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler("test.log", maxBytes=10000, backupCount=5)
log.addHandler(handler)

Installation

You can install alogging using pip:

pip install py-extensions-alogging

Or add it using poetry:

poetry add py-extensions-alogging
