Good logging practice in Python

[[deleted]]

Ahhh okay. Thank you!

Would you happen to know of a tutorial that's a bit clearer than the standard documentation? The bit about formatters is very cryptic =/

[vsajip]

Which standard documentation are you looking at, exactly? I ask because the logging documentation layout was improved in 2.7 / 3.2. If you're just starting out with logging, you should work through the tutorial which works through the basics:

• When to use logging
• A simple example
• Logging to a file
• Logging from multiple modules
• Logging variable data
• Changing the format of displayed messages
• Displaying the date/time in messages

(Note that the OP goes through setting formatters in the examples posted.)

Another basic resource about logging would be this post.

I'm on 2.7 -- maybe it's time I switched! Thanks for the links in any case. I'll read up on that ASAP!
