# sanelogging
## Sane defaults for python logging
The python stdlib `logging` module is useful, flexible, and configurable.
However, the maintainers reasonably have determined that python is an
application runtime and not an application. The default configuration
for the `logging` is not very useful, and this results in boilerplate.
This is an opinionated module for the 90% case where you just want sane
defaults. (In effect, moving the boilerplate into PyPI.)
# Other Stuff
There are some convenience methods added, such as `panic` and `die` (c.f.
golang and perl).
`notice` is additionally aliased to `info`, for those who forget that python
doesn't have a notice level (i.e. me).
If you set the environment variable `LOG_TO_SYSLOG`, it will print out your
log messages on paper and mail them to you.
# Usage
```
from sanelogging import log
log.info("starting up!")
log.error("something went wrong.")
log.die("bailing out") # script exits
```
