Usage

To use alogging in a project:

import alogging

Examples

Basic use of alogging:

import alogging

# local alias for alogging.a()
a = alogging.a

# create a logging.Logger object, will use the __name__ of the
# module by default. Equilivent to 'log = logging.getLogger(__name__)'
log = alogging.get_logger()

log.debug('created a Logger object so use it for a debug msg')


class ThingToDo(object):
    def __init__(self, requirement, priority=None, assigner=None):
        # get a Logger named 'example.ThingToDo'
        self.log = alogging.get_class_logger(self)

        self.log.info('Task as assigned: req=%s, pri=%s, ass=%s', requirement, priority, assigner)

        priority = priority or 'never'

        self.log.info('Task reprioritized: req=%s, pri=%s, ass=%s', requirement, priority, assigner')


# alogging.t decorator will log when the decorated method is called,
# what args it was passed, and what it's return value was

@alogging.t
def space_out_for_while(duration=None):
    # space out for 10 minutes by default
    duration = duration or 600

    # return the total amount of work accomplished
    return 0

def find_coffee(coffee_places):
    log.debug('looking for coffee')
    return None

def do_startup_stuff():
    coffee_places = ['piehole', 'mug_on_desk', 'coffee_machine', 'krankies']
    # log the the args to find_coffee as it is called
    has_coffee = a(find_coffee(coffee_places))

    work_accomplished = space_out_for_while(duration=300)

def do_work():
    next_task = TaskToDo('finish TODO list', assigner='Lumberg')
    if not next_task:
        return

    # oh no, work...
    log.error("I'm slammed at the moment, I can't do %s', next_task)
    raise Exception()

if __name__ = '__main__':
    # use some reasonable defaults for setting up logging.
    # - log to stderr
    # - use a default format:
    #   """%(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d %(levelname)-0.1s %(name)s %(processName)s:%(process)d %(funcName)s:%(lineno)d - %(message)s"""
    main_log = alogging.app_setup(name='example.main')
    main_log.debug('Log to logging "example.main"')

    do_startup_stuff()

    try:
        do_work()
    except Exception as exc:
        # gruntle a bit and continue
        log.exception(exc)
