python logging.exception code example

Example 1: python logging to file

import logging

"""
DEBUG
INFO
WARNING
ERROR
CRITICAL
"""
# asctime: time of the log was printed out
# levelname: name of the log
# datefmt: format the time of the log
# give DEBUG log
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s',
    datefmt='%d-%m-%Y:%H:%M:%S',
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    filename='logs.txt')

logger = logging.getLogger('my_app')

logger.debug("This is a debug log")
logger.info("This is an info log")
logger.critical("This is critical")
logger.error("An error occurred")

Example 2: logging.logger

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
  
logger.debug("some debugging...")
logger.error("some error...")

Example 3: pythong logging logger to string

import logging
try:
    from cStringIO import StringIO      # Python 2
except ImportError:
    from io import StringIO

class LevelFilter(logging.Filter):
    def __init__(self, levels):
        self.levels = levels

    def filter(self, record):
        return record.levelno in self.levels

log_stream = StringIO()    
logging.basicConfig(stream=log_stream, level=logging.NOTSET)
logging.getLogger().addFilter(LevelFilter((logging.INFO, logging.WARNING, logging.ERROR)))

logging.info('hello world')
logging.warning('be careful!')
logging.debug("you won't see this")
logging.error('you will see this')
logging.critical('critical is no longer logged!')

print(log_stream.getvalue())
