Spinner Logger for Python

Installation

Just pip install spinlog and you can use it.

Usage

Spinlog is build on top of halo providing a different API to interact with the spinner.

Basic Usage

from spinlog import Spinner
from time import sleep

print("About to launch Spinner")
with Spinner.get("I'm spinning around") as s:
    sleep(2)
    s.info("Here is an info message while spinning around")
    # you can use s.warn, s.error, or s.debug
    sleep(2)
print("Spinning Over")

Advanced usage

Spinlog is build in such a manner that you can disable the spinning animation and replace it with proper logging without having to change the codebase.

This is done by creating a spinner instance, potentialy configured with two logger, the concommitant_logger to be run alongside the spinner (for logging to file for instance), and the alternative_logger to replace spinner animation and logging.

A complete example can be found in the examples folder Here is an except:

# imports and logger definitions
should_spin = "--no-spin" not in sys.argv
# Configure spinner
spinner = Spinner(spinner="triangle", is_spinning=should_spin,
                  alternative_logger=stream_logger, concommitant_logger=file_logger)
# Use spinner
with spinner("Operation in progress") as s:
    sleep(2)
    s.info("Checkpoint reached")
    sleep(2)
