Would be good to keep the level consistent here and on line 164: self.log.info("Job %s was successfully submitted.", job_id). Either both could be DEBUG or both could be INFO.

One thing I was wondering about: for errors, how should we handle logging? Would it make sense to have the same message when instantiating the error and also log that at the same time?

Good question! Errors should definitely be logged, the generated log files should have a running commentary of what happens during program execution.

One way of doing this could be using logger.exception.

This article seems to provide a nice overview of potential logging/exception patterns: https://www.loggly.com/blog/exceptional-logging-of-exceptions-in-python/

I originally had this as info, but I'm not so sure they both belong at the same level. From the Python docs:

Level Description
DEBUG Designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
INFO Designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.

  • Job submission provides information about the progress of the job submission at a very course-grained level. Seems particularly well suited, given that info is the default level, and will be displayed on the output by default.

  • Logging the submitted circuit is instead more fine-grained debugging data. In most cases, users won't want this displayed as 'info', since the submitted circuit should be evident from their Python code (or determined via prog.compile()). However, this will be useful information when debugging.

Sounds good! Happy if these are kept as they are right now :)
