''' vlogging ======== Hey, what's up guys, it's voussoirkit back with another awesome module for you. This module forwards everything from logging, with the addition of levels LOUD and SILENT, and all loggers from getLogger are given the `loud` method. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. ''' from logging import * _getLogger = getLogger # Python gives the root logger a level of WARNING. The problem is that prevents # any handlers you add to it from receiving lower level messages. WARNING might # be fine for the stderr handler, but you might like to have a log file # containing everything including info and debug. # I find that logging works best if the root logger itself doesn't have a level # and the handlers can choose what they want. root = getLogger() root.setLevel(NOTSET) LOUD = 1 SILENT = 99999999999 def add_loud(log): ''' Add the `loud` method to the given logger. ''' def loud(self, message, *args, **kwargs): if self.isEnabledFor(LOUD): self._log(LOUD, message, args, **kwargs) addLevelName(LOUD, 'LOUD') log.loud = loud.__get__(log, log.__class__) def add_root_handler(level): handler = StreamHandler() handler.setFormatter(Formatter('{levelname}:{name}:{message}', style='{')) handler.setLevel(level) root.addHandler(handler) return handler def basic_config(level): ''' This adds a handler with the given level to the root logger, but only if it has no handlers yet. ''' if root.handlers: return add_root_handler(level) def basic_config_by_argv(argv): ''' This function does basic_config with a level set by the flags in argv, then returns the rest of argv which you can pass to your argparser. ''' (level, argv) = get_level_by_argv(argv) basic_config(level) return argv def get_level_by_argv(argv): ''' If any of the following arguments are present in argv, return the corresponding log level along with a new copy of argv that has had the argument string removed.

The return value of getLevelName isn't accepted by setLevel since setLevel does not parse "Level X" strings, though it does accept exact matches by registered level names. Consider this function your alternative, for querying levels by name and getting an integer you can give to setLevel.

But hardcoding your logger name is not good either. So, main_fallback is used to present your preferred name in case of main.
