Usage

Loggy exists as a simple interface for some standard logging in Python. This is done at the package level, not by name.

Basic instantiation

A basic logger may look like this, defaulting to the "info" level logging.

from loggy import loggy

log = loggy.get_loggy()

log.info("Something")
>>> 2022-06-21 20:16:39 PM PDT | INFO | Something | (<stdin>:1:<module>) |

Using color

Colors are supported as well, though not for use with log files. Color and log files are mutually exclusive, as the color codes would clutter the logs.

log = loggy.get_loggy(use_color=True)

Writing to files

File handlers are initiated using a dictionary of configurations for the file, this gives more granular control over file based logging. This is passed directly to the FileHandler() instantiation.

The below example creates a log file with append mode.

file_config = {"filename": "some-log-file.log", "mode": "a"}
log = loggy.get_loggy(log_file=file_config)

Advanced usage

Custom colors can be created or added along with custom logging levels. See the conftest.py for an example of custom formatter and 'test_loggy.py' to see how the colors are added for a custom logging level.

Running tests

Pytest is used as the test runner. To install and run tests use the requirements-dev.txt and execute with pytest.

Note: Use a virtual environment. The steps to create one are left to the user, there are many packages that accomplish this.

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pytest
