Package to setup a python logger the way I like to use it.
- By default logs to files per logger and one for the overall project
- Sets a master logger with sub loggers per file (obtained via getLogger())
from csmlog import setup, getLogger
setup("appName") # call setup once whenever you would like to set the output location for future loggers
logger = getLogger(__file__)
# logger is a Python logger... feel free to use it.
# You should see logs in %APPDATA% on Windows and /var/log or ~/log on Linux/Mac
setup() has an optional parameter: googleSheetShareEmail. If it is given, it should be an email address to share a Google Sheets worksheet of logs.
In order to use this, you must have a Google Service Account or User Account's credentials (in JSON form) in ~/.gcreds.json
Internally the gspread module is used for Google Sheets communication/authentication. See https://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2.html for more information on getting credentials. The only thing different from their instructions is that for csmlog, the JSON credentials should be stored in ~/.gcreds.json.
Note that logs may be delayed due to rate limiting, etc. If you are logging a lot, it may not be a good idea to enable this feature.
setup() has an optional parameter: modifyChildLoggersFunc. If it is given, it must be a function that would take in as a single arg, each created child logger. This can be used to add additional things like handlers to each child logger. (Note that the child logger is modified in place).
pip install csmlog
