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
