This is a handler for the python standard logging framework that can be used to tell whether messages have been logged at or above a certain level.
This can be useful when wanting to ensure that no errors have been logged before committing data back to a database.
As an example, first, you set up the error handler:
>>> from errorhandler import ErrorHandler
>>> e = ErrorHandler()
Then you can log and check the handler at any point to see if it has been triggered:
>>> e.fired
False
>>> from logging import getLogger
>>> logger = getLogger()
>>> logger.error('an error')
>>> e.fired
True
You can use the fired attribute to only perform actions when no errors have been logged:
>>> if e.fired:
... print "Not updating files as errors have occurred"
Not updating files as errors have occurred
Do the following in your virtualenv:
pip install errorhandler
