cpylog

A simple pure python colorama/HTML capable logger

Download the latest:

This is a library for creating a limited pure Python (3.7+) version of the standard logging object. There are 3 main classes:

• SimpleLogger
• FileLogger (new in v1.1)
• WarningRedirector (new in v1.3)

And a few functions:

• get_logger
• log_exc (new in v1.5)

SimpleLogger is limited in that:

• no handlers

The additional features that the SimpleLogger has:

• support for colorama highlighting
  • automatically disabled when piping to a file
  • automatically disabled in Spyder (new in v1.2)
• HTML support for the Jupyter notebook
  • automatically enabled
• overwritable log functions in order to integrate the log with a GUI

The additional features that the FileLogger has beyond SimpleLogger:

• file writing and/or stream writing (new in v1.1)
  • set_enabled / enable / disable logger
  • context manager to close file

    with FileLogger(level='debug', filename=None, include_stream=True) as log:
        log.debug('SimpleLogger')
    with FileLogger(level='debug', filename='file.log', include_stream=True) as log:
        log.debug('FileLogger/SimpleLogger')
    with FileLogger(level='debug', filename='file.log', include_stream=False) as log:
        log.debug('FileLogger')

The WarningRedirector works as a context manager with both the FileLogger has beyond SimpleLogger to redirect other libraries warnings to the logging object.

• using the SimpleLogger:

  log = get_logger2(debug=True, encoding='utf-8')
  warnings.warn('this goes to stderr')
  with WarningRedirector(log) as warn:
      warnings.warn('this goes to cpylog')

-using the FileLogger: python with FileLogger(level='debug', filename=None, include_stream=True) as log: warnings.warn('this goes to stderr') with WarningRedirector(log) as warn: warnings.warn('this goes to cpylog')

As a bonus (limitation?), it crashes when you have invalid logging statement. This ensures that logging is correct, so if you switch to standard Python logging, that will also be correct. One of the goals of this logging class is that because it implements a subset of standard Python logging, you can replace it with a standard Python log.

from cpylog import get_logger, get_logger2

# if a log already exists, it's passed through
log0 = None

# level: debug, info, warning, critical, exception
log1 = get_logger(log=log0, level='debug', encoding='utf-8')
log1.debug('debug')
log1.info('info')
log1.warning('warning')
log1.exception('exception')
log1.critical('critical')
DEBUG:     file.py:4  debug
INFO:      file.py:5  info
WARNING:   file.py:6  warning
EXCEPTION: file.py:7  exception
CRITICAL:  file.py:8  critical

# debug: True=debug, False=info, None=warning
log2 = get_logger2(log=log1, debug=True, encoding='utf-8')

``SimpleLogger`` is the base class and if we call it directly, we can overwrite the logging message style.

```python
from cpylog import SimpleLogger
log_base = SimpleLogger(self, level: str='debug', encoding: str='utf-8', log_func=None)

# we can call it with an external function, so you can make a custom formatter
# such as an HTML logger
def log_func(typ, filename, n, msg):
    print('typ=%r filename=%r n=%r msg=%r' % (typ, filename, n, msg))
log_func = SimpleLogger(level='info', log_func=log_func)
