Logging package for Python. Based on PEP 282 and comments thereto in comp.lang.python. Copyright (C) 2001-2019 Vinay Sajip. All Rights Reserved. To use, simply 'import logging' and log away!
A formatter suitable for formatting a number of records.
format(self, records) Format the specified records and return the result as a string.
formatFooter(self, records) Return the footer string for the specified records.
formatHeader(self, records) Return the header string for the specified records.
A handler class which writes formatted logging records to disk files.
acquire(self) Acquire the I/O thread lock.
addFilter(self, filter) Add the specified filter to this handler.
close(self) Closes the stream.
createLock(self) Acquire a thread lock for serializing access to the underlying I/O.
emit(self, record) Emit a record. If the stream was not opened because 'delay' was specified in the constructor, open it before calling the superclass's emit. If stream is not open, current mode is 'w' and `_closed=True`, record will not be emitted (see Issue #42378).
filter(self, record) Determine if a record is loggable by consulting all the filters. The default is to allow the record to be logged; any filter can veto this and the record is then dropped. Returns a zero value if a record is to be dropped, else non-zero. .. versionchanged:: 3.2 Allow filters to be just callables.
flush(self) Flushes the stream.
format(self, record) Format the specified record. If a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.
get_name(self)
handle(self, record) Conditionally emit the specified logging record. Emission depends on filters which may have been added to the handler. Wrap the actual emission of the record with acquisition/release of the I/O thread lock. Returns whether the filter passed the record for emission.
handleError(self, record) Handle errors which occur during an emit() call. This method should be called from handlers when an exception is encountered during an emit() call. If raiseExceptions is false, exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly wanted for a logging system - most users will not care about errors in the logging system, they are more interested in application errors. You could, however, replace this with a custom handler if you wish. The record which was being processed is passed in to this method.
release(self) Release the I/O thread lock.
removeFilter(self, filter) Remove the specified filter from this handler.
setFormatter(self, fmt) Set the formatter for this handler.
setLevel(self, level) Set the logging level of this handler. level must be an int or a str.
setStream(self, stream) Sets the StreamHandler's stream to the specified value, if it is different. Returns the old stream, if the stream was changed, or None if it wasn't.
set_name(self, name)
name = <property object at 0x7f75e31de840>
terminator = '\n'
Filter instances are used to perform arbitrary filtering of LogRecords. Loggers and Handlers can optionally use Filter instances to filter records as desired. The base filter class only allows events which are below a certain point in the logger hierarchy. For example, a filter initialized with "A.B" will allow events logged by loggers "A.B", "A.B.C", "A.B.C.D", "A.B.D" etc. but not "A.BB", "B.A.B" etc. If initialized with the empty string, all events are passed.
filter(self, record) Determine if the specified record is to be logged. Returns True if the record should be logged, or False otherwise. If deemed appropriate, the record may be modified in-place.
A base class for loggers and handlers which allows them to share common code.
addFilter(self, filter) Add the specified filter to this handler.
filter(self, record) Determine if a record is loggable by consulting all the filters. The default is to allow the record to be logged; any filter can veto this and the record is then dropped. Returns a zero value if a record is to be dropped, else non-zero. .. versionchanged:: 3.2 Allow filters to be just callables.
removeFilter(self, filter) Remove the specified filter from this handler.
Formatter instances are used to convert a LogRecord to text. Formatters need to know how a LogRecord is constructed. They are responsible for converting a LogRecord to (usually) a string which can be interpreted by either a human or an external system. The base Formatter allows a formatting string to be specified. If none is supplied, the style-dependent default value, "%(message)s", "{message}", or "${message}", is used. The Formatter can be initialized with a format string which makes use of knowledge of the LogRecord attributes - e.g. the default value mentioned above makes use of the fact that the user's message and arguments are pre- formatted into a LogRecord's message attribute. Currently, the useful attributes in a LogRecord are described by: %(name)s Name of the logger (logging channel) %(levelno)s Numeric logging level for the message (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL) %(levelname)s Text logging level for the message ("DEBUG", "INFO", "WARNING", "ERROR", "CRITICAL") %(pathname)s Full pathname of the source file where the logging call was issued (if available) %(filename)s Filename portion of pathname %(module)s Module (name portion of filename) %(lineno)d Source line number where the logging call was issued (if available) %(funcName)s Function name %(created)f Time when the LogRecord was created (time.time() return value) %(asctime)s Textual time when the LogRecord was created %(msecs)d Millisecond portion of the creation time %(relativeCreated)d Time in milliseconds when the LogRecord was created, relative to the time the logging module was loaded (typically at application startup time) %(thread)d Thread ID (if available) %(threadName)s Thread name (if available) %(process)d Process ID (if available) %(message)s The result of record.getMessage(), computed just as the record is emitted
localtime(...) localtime([seconds]) -> (tm_year,tm_mon,tm_mday,tm_hour,tm_min, tm_sec,tm_wday,tm_yday,tm_isdst) Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing local time. When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.
format(self, record) Format the specified record as text. The record's attribute dictionary is used as the operand to a string formatting operation which yields the returned string. Before formatting the dictionary, a couple of preparatory steps are carried out. The message attribute of the record is computed using LogRecord.getMessage(). If the formatting string uses the time (as determined by a call to usesTime(), formatTime() is called to format the event time. If there is exception information, it is formatted using formatException() and appended to the message.
formatException(self, ei) Format and return the specified exception information as a string. This default implementation just uses traceback.print_exception()
formatMessage(self, record)
formatStack(self, stack_info) This method is provided as an extension point for specialized formatting of stack information. The input data is a string as returned from a call to :func:`traceback.print_stack`, but with the last trailing newline removed. The base implementation just returns the value passed in.
formatTime(self, record, datefmt=None) Return the creation time of the specified LogRecord as formatted text. This method should be called from format() by a formatter which wants to make use of a formatted time. This method can be overridden in formatters to provide for any specific requirement, but the basic behaviour is as follows: if datefmt (a string) is specified, it is used with time.strftime() to format the creation time of the record. Otherwise, an ISO8601-like (or RFC 3339-like) format is used. The resulting string is returned. This function uses a user-configurable function to convert the creation time to a tuple. By default, time.localtime() is used; to change this for a particular formatter instance, set the 'converter' attribute to a function with the same signature as time.localtime() or time.gmtime(). To change it for all formatters, for example if you want all logging times to be shown in GMT, set the 'converter' attribute in the Formatter class.
usesTime(self) Check if the format uses the creation time of the record.
default_msec_format = '%s,%03d'
default_time_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
Handler instances dispatch logging events to specific destinations. The base handler class. Acts as a placeholder which defines the Handler interface. Handlers can optionally use Formatter instances to format records as desired. By default, no formatter is specified; in this case, the 'raw' message as determined by record.message is logged.
acquire(self) Acquire the I/O thread lock.
addFilter(self, filter) Add the specified filter to this handler.
close(self) Tidy up any resources used by the handler. This version removes the handler from an internal map of handlers, _handlers, which is used for handler lookup by name. Subclasses should ensure that this gets called from overridden close() methods.
createLock(self) Acquire a thread lock for serializing access to the underlying I/O.
emit(self, record) Do whatever it takes to actually log the specified logging record. This version is intended to be implemented by subclasses and so raises a NotImplementedError.
filter(self, record) Determine if a record is loggable by consulting all the filters. The default is to allow the record to be logged; any filter can veto this and the record is then dropped. Returns a zero value if a record is to be dropped, else non-zero. .. versionchanged:: 3.2 Allow filters to be just callables.
flush(self) Ensure all logging output has been flushed. This version does nothing and is intended to be implemented by subclasses.
format(self, record) Format the specified record. If a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.
get_name(self)
handle(self, record) Conditionally emit the specified logging record. Emission depends on filters which may have been added to the handler. Wrap the actual emission of the record with acquisition/release of the I/O thread lock. Returns whether the filter passed the record for emission.
handleError(self, record) Handle errors which occur during an emit() call. This method should be called from handlers when an exception is encountered during an emit() call. If raiseExceptions is false, exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly wanted for a logging system - most users will not care about errors in the logging system, they are more interested in application errors. You could, however, replace this with a custom handler if you wish. The record which was being processed is passed in to this method.
release(self) Release the I/O thread lock.
removeFilter(self, filter) Remove the specified filter from this handler.
setFormatter(self, fmt) Set the formatter for this handler.
setLevel(self, level) Set the logging level of this handler. level must be an int or a str.
set_name(self, name)
name = <property object at 0x7f75e31de840>
A LogRecord instance represents an event being logged. LogRecord instances are created every time something is logged. They contain all the information pertinent to the event being logged. The main information passed in is in msg and args, which are combined using str(msg) % args to create the message field of the record. The record also includes information such as when the record was created, the source line where the logging call was made, and any exception information to be logged.
getMessage(self) Return the message for this LogRecord. Return the message for this LogRecord after merging any user-supplied arguments with the message.
Instances of the Logger class represent a single logging channel. A "logging channel" indicates an area of an application. Exactly how an "area" is defined is up to the application developer. Since an application can have any number of areas, logging channels are identified by a unique string. Application areas can be nested (e.g. an area of "input processing" might include sub-areas "read CSV files", "read XLS files" and "read Gnumeric files"). To cater for this natural nesting, channel names are organized into a namespace hierarchy where levels are separated by periods, much like the Java or Python package namespace. So in the instance given above, channel names might be "input" for the upper level, and "input.csv", "input.xls" and "input.gnu" for the sub-levels. There is no arbitrary limit to the depth of nesting.
addFilter(self, filter) Add the specified filter to this handler.
addHandler(self, hdlr) Add the specified handler to this logger.
callHandlers(self, record) Pass a record to all relevant handlers. Loop through all handlers for this logger and its parents in the logger hierarchy. If no handler was found, output a one-off error message to sys.stderr. Stop searching up the hierarchy whenever a logger with the "propagate" attribute set to zero is found - that will be the last logger whose handlers are called.
critical(self, msg, *args, **kwargs) Log 'msg % args' with severity 'CRITICAL'. To pass exception information, use the keyword argument exc_info with a true value, e.g. logger.critical("Houston, we have a %s", "major disaster", exc_info=1)

getEffectiveLevel(self) Get the effective level for this logger. Loop through this logger and its parents in the logger hierarchy, looking for a non-zero logging level. Return the first one found.
handle(self, record) Call the handlers for the specified record. This method is used for unpickled records received from a socket, as well as those created locally. Logger-level filtering is applied.
hasHandlers(self) See if this logger has any handlers configured. Loop through all handlers for this logger and its parents in the logger hierarchy. Return True if a handler was found, else False. Stop searching up the hierarchy whenever a logger with the "propagate" attribute set to zero is found - that will be the last logger which is checked for the existence of handlers.
info(self, msg, *args, **kwargs) Log 'msg % args' with severity 'INFO'. To pass exception information, use the keyword argument exc_info with a true value, e.g. logger.info("Houston, we have a %s", "interesting problem", exc_info=1)
isEnabledFor(self, level) Is this logger enabled for level 'level'?
log(self, level, msg, *args, **kwargs) Log 'msg % args' with the integer severity 'level'. To pass exception information, use the keyword argument exc_info with a true value, e.g. logger.log(level, "We have a %s", "mysterious problem", exc_info=1)

You can either manipulate the message itself, the keyword args or both. Return the message and kwargs modified (or not) to suit your needs. Normally, you'll only need to override this one method in a LoggerAdapter subclass for your specific needs.
setLevel(self, level) Set the specified level on the underlying logger.
warn(self, msg, *args, **kwargs)
warning(self, msg, *args, **kwargs) Delegate a warning call to the underlying logger.

There is [under normal circumstances] just one Manager instance, which holds the hierarchy of loggers.
getLogger(self, name) Get a logger with the specified name (channel name), creating it if it doesn't yet exist. This name is a dot-separated hierarchical name, such as "a", "a.b", "a.b.c" or similar. If a PlaceHolder existed for the specified name [i.e. the logger didn't exist but a child of it did], replace it with the created logger and fix up the parent/child references which pointed to the placeholder to now point to the logger.
setLogRecordFactory(self, factory) Set the factory to be used when instantiating a log record with this Manager.
setLoggerClass(self, klass) Set the class to be used when instantiating a logger with this Manager.
disable = <property object at 0x7f75e31deca0>
This handler does nothing. It's intended to be used to avoid the "No handlers could be found for logger XXX" one-off warning. This is important for library code, which may contain code to log events. If a user of the library does not configure logging, the one-off warning might be produced; to avoid this, the library developer simply needs to instantiate a NullHandler and add it to the top-level logger of the library module or package.
acquire(self) Acquire the I/O thread lock.
addFilter(self, filter) Add the specified filter to this handler.
close(self) Tidy up any resources used by the handler. This version removes the handler from an internal map of handlers, _handlers, which is used for handler lookup by name. Subclasses should ensure that this gets called from overridden close() methods.

flush(self) Ensure all logging output has been flushed. This version does nothing and is intended to be implemented by subclasses.
format(self, record) Format the specified record. If a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.
