Simple Logging Config

Overview

Installation

With Pip:

pip install simple_logging_config

Usage

The simple_logging_config package provides a simplified logging configuration.

To use with the default configuration, only 2 lines of code are required.

from simple_logging_config import configure_logging

configure_logging()

Or

from simple_logging_config import SimpleLoggingConfig

SimpleLoggingConfig()

This will enable info level logging to the console and debug level logging to a file.

Information logged to the console is just the log message with no additional detail.
Information logged to file includes the timestamp, log_level, module and message

For a slightly more complex usecase, using a few additional lines of code, configure_logging is configurable using command line parameters.

# myscript.py

from argparse import ArgumentParser
from simple_logging_config import configure_logging, add_logging_arguments

parser = ArgumentParser(description="Test Program")
add_logging_arguments(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()

configure_logging(**vars(args))

Your script will now accept additional CLI paramaters to configure logging at runtime as shown below.

usage: myscript.py [-h] [-v | --slc-level LEVELS] [--slc-modules [MODULES ...]] [--slc-log-file-path LOG_FILE_PATH]
               [--slc-backup-count BACKUP_COUNT] [--slc-config {dual,dual_rotating,dual_detailed,console,file,rotating_file}]      

Test Program

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         The level of logging verbosity for the default handler. Use multiple times (up to -vvv) for increased      
                        verbosity.
  --slc-level LEVELS, --slc-levels LEVELS
                        The log level(s) to be applied to attached handlers. This value can be a single integer or a string        
                        representing a defined log level. Or it can be a string representing a dictionary where key/value pairs    
                        are handler names and the log level to be associated with that handler
  --slc-modules [MODULES ...]
                        The names of the modules to be logged. If omitted all modules are logged.
  --slc-log-file-path LOG_FILE_PATH
                        The path the log file will be saved to. If this is a folder, the log file will be saved to this folder     
                        with the file name derived from the name of the calling script. Otherwise, assume this is a full path to   
                        a named log file.
  --slc-backup-count BACKUP_COUNT
                        An integer specifying The number of backup log files to retain.
  --slc-config {dual,dual_rotating,dual_detailed,console,file,rotating_file}
                        The name of the logging config to be used.
