Autologging — easier logging and tracing for Python classes¶
| Release: | 1.0.1 |
|---|
Autologging eliminates boilerplate logging setup code and tracing code, and provides a means to separate application logging from program flow and data tracing.
Python modules that make use of Autologging are cleaner, leaner, and more resilient to changes that would otherwise require updating tracing statements.
Autologging allows for tracing to be configured (and controlled) independently from application logging. Toggle tracing on/off, write trace log records to a separate log, and use different formatting for trace log entries - all via standard Python logging facilities, and without affecting your application logging.
Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+ are supported using the same codebase. All examples given on this site use Python 3 syntax.
New in version 1.0.1: Autologging is now officially tested and working under Jython, IronPython, PyPy, and Stackless Python.
Autologging exposes two decorators (autologging.logged,
autologging.traced) and a custom log level
(autologging.TRACE).
