Using functools.wraps with a logging decorator

Unfortunately logging uses the function code object to infer the name. You could work around this by using the extra keyword argument to specify some additional attributes for the record, which you could then use during formatting. You could do something like:

logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.DEBUG,
    format='%(real_func_name)20s - %(message)s',
)

...

logging.info(statement, extra={'real_func_name': func.__name__})

The only downside to this approach is that you have to pass in the extra dictionary every time. To avoid that you could use a custom formatter and have it override funcName:

import logging
from functools import wraps

class CustomFormatter(logging.Formatter):
    """Custom formatter, overrides funcName with value of name_override if it exists"""
    def format(self, record):
        if hasattr(record, 'name_override'):
            record.funcName = record.name_override
        return super(CustomFormatter, self).format(record)

# setup logger and handler
logger = logging.getLogger(__file__)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler.setFormatter(CustomFormatter('%(funcName)20s - %(message)s'))
logger.addHandler(handler)

def log_and_call(statement):
    def decorator(func):
        @wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            # set name_override to func.__name__
            logger.info(statement, extra={'name_override': func.__name__})
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

@log_and_call("This should be logged by 'decorated_function'")
def decorated_function():
    logger.info('I ran')

decorated_function()

Which does what you want:

% python logging_test.py
  decorated_function - This should be logged by 'decorated_function'
  decorated_function - I ran

I have found in docs how it can be done, just add this code to your decorator:

def log_and_call(statement):        
    def decorator(func):
        old_factory = logging.getLogRecordFactory()

        def record_factory(*args, **kwargs):
            record = old_factory(*args, **kwargs)
            record.funcName = func.__name__
            return record

        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            logging.setLogRecordFactory(record_factory)
            logging.info(statement)
            logging.setLogRecordFactory(old_factory)
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        return wrapper
    return decorator

or instead of functools.wrap use this decorator:

def log_wrapper(func_overrider):
    old_factory = logging.getLogRecordFactory()

    def new_factory(*args, **kwargs):
        record = old_factory(*args, **kwargs)
        record.funcName = func_overrider.__name__
        return record

    def decorator(func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            logging.setLogRecordFactory(new_factory)
            result = func(*args, **kwargs)
            logging.setLogRecordFactory(old_factory)
            return result

        return wrapper

    return decorator
