Provide vlog(log_level, *args, **kwargs) function which simply does print(*args, **kwargs) iff vlog.GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL >= log_level.

Also provides a command line wrapper so you can call

vlog <log_level> "Some words"

to get appropriate echoing on the command line if $GLOBAL_VLOG_LEVEL >= <log_level>

INSTALL

$ pip3 install vlog

EXAMPLE

In Python,

from vlog import vlog
vlog.GLOBAL_LOG_LEVEL = 10
vl = vlog.vlog

vl(9, "This will print,")
vl(10, "so will this,")
vl(11, "but this will not print.")

and at the shell,

$ GLOBAL_VLOG_LEVEL=10 vlog 10 This will print,
$ GLOBAL_VLOG_LEVEL=10 vlog 11 but this will not print.
