With Pip:
pip install simple_logging_config
The simple_logging_config package provides a simplified logging configuration.
To use with the default configuration, only 2 lines of code are required.
from simple_logging_config import configure_logging
configure_logging()
Or
from simple_logging_config import SimpleLoggingConfig
SimpleLoggingConfig()
This will enable info level logging to the console and debug level logging to a file.
Information logged to the console is just the log message with no additional detail.
Information logged to file includes the timestamp, log_level, module and message
For a slightly more complex usecase, using a few additional lines of code, configure_logging is configurable using command line parameters.
# myscript.py
from argparse import ArgumentParser
from simple_logging_config import configure_logging, add_logging_arguments
parser = ArgumentParser(description="Test Program")
add_logging_arguments(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()
configure_logging(**vars(args))
Your script will now accept additional CLI paramaters to configure logging at runtime as shown below.
usage: myscript.py [-h] [-v | --slc-level LEVELS] [--slc-modules [MODULES ...]] [--slc-log-file-path LOG_FILE_PATH]
[--slc-backup-count BACKUP_COUNT] [--slc-config {dual,dual_rotating,dual_detailed,console,file,rotating_file}]
Test Program
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose The level of logging verbosity for the default handler. Use multiple times (up to -vvv) for increased
verbosity.
--slc-level LEVELS, --slc-levels LEVELS
The log level(s) to be applied to attached handlers. This value can be a single integer or a string
representing a defined log level. Or it can be a string representing a dictionary where key/value pairs
are handler names and the log level to be associated with that handler
--slc-modules [MODULES ...]
The names of the modules to be logged. If omitted all modules are logged.
--slc-log-file-path LOG_FILE_PATH
The path the log file will be saved to. If this is a folder, the log file will be saved to this folder
with the file name derived from the name of the calling script. Otherwise, assume this is a full path to
a named log file.
--slc-backup-count BACKUP_COUNT
An integer specifying The number of backup log files to retain.
--slc-config {dual,dual_rotating,dual_detailed,console,file,rotating_file}
The name of the logging config to be used.
