This python module is based on the standard logging python module and makes use of it to implement an easy way to log to console and to a file at the same time or only one of them as you prefer.

Very easy. First, some quick examples so you can start usind this module:

import logging
from MyLogging import MyLog
log = MyLog.get_logger(
    name=__file__,
    log_level=logging.INFO
)

You create a log like this:

log = MyLog.get_logger("mylogname")

or for example:

log = MyLog.get_logger(__file__)

This will output log messages to console and logfile. This is the default. So it will create a logfile similar to: logfiles/20200107_mylogname.log. Note the name which is related to the "mylogname" passed as parameter. You can customize it by using the name="yourlogname" or name=__file__. In case __file__ as extension it will be removed.

For example, if name='yourfilaname.py', then the generated log will be yyyymmdd_yourfilename.log

By default de log level is DEBUG. You can override the log_level parameter to select the desired log level.

log = MyLog.get_logger(
    name=__file__,
    log_level=logging.WARNING
)

By default log to console and file is activated. You can desactivate them by overriding the corresponnding parameted, log_to_console=False or log_to_file=False

log = MyLog.get_logger(__file__)
log.debug("Hello. This is a test. Thanks !")

log = MyLog.get_logger(
    log_to_file=False,
)
log.debug("Hello. This is a test. Thanks !")

This will output log messages only to console.

log = Log.get_logger(
    name="mylog",
    log_to_console=False,
)
log.debug("Hello. This is a test. Thanks !")
log.error("Hello. This is an error !")

This will create a logfile similar to: logfiles/20200107_myfilename.log. Note that the file estension is eliminated.

An example with all possible parameters you can override. In the example the default values are used.

import logging 
from MyLogging import MyLog

log = MyLog.get_logger(
    name=__name__,
    log_to_console = False,
    log_to_file = True,
    log_folder = 'logfiles',
    log_level = logging.DEBUG,
    log_format = '{asctime} [{levelname:5s}] [{name}] {filename:s}:{lineno:d} {message:s}',
    log_date_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%m',
    log_formatter = logging.Formatter(
        LOG_FORMAT,
        datefmt=LOG_DATE_FORMAT,
        style='{'
    ),
)
