2 - Date Time parts in prefix

from screenwriter import Screenwriter

sw = Screenwriter ('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f ')
sw.echo ('my output')

Output:
2019-07-26 11:16:04 my output

3 - Error, Warning & Info standard prefixes

from screenwriter import Screenwriter

sw = Screenwriter ()
sw.error ('an error message')

sw = Screenwriter ()
sw.set_maxlen (80) #Set maximum length to 80
