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") # exits
