Basic logging

The most basic usage for picologging is to call the debug, info, warning, error, critical and exception functions directly on the picologging module:

import picologging

picologging.basicConfig(level=picologging.DEBUG)
picologging.debug("This is a debug message")
picologging.info("This is an info message")
picologging.warning("This is a warning message")
picologging.error("This is an error message")
picologging.critical("This is a critical message")

This will use the default handler and formatter. You can specify a different formatter with the formatter keyword argument:

import picologging

picologging.basicConfig(level=picologging.DEBUG, formatter=picologging.Formatter("%(levelname)s:%(message)s"))
picologging.debug("This is a debug message")

# Output:
# DEBUG:This is a debug message

Using custom handlers

Picologging has custom handlers beyond the StreamHandler and FileHandler. You can write your own handler by implementing the Handler class.

There are a collection of pre-built handlers in the Handlers module.
