Naming Python loggers

I typically don’t use or find a need for class-level loggers, but I keep my modules at a few classes at most. A simple: import logging LOG = logging.getLogger(__name__) At the top of the module and subsequent: LOG.info(‘Spam and eggs are tasty!’) from anywhere in the file typically gets me to where I want to … Read more

Redirect Python ‘print’ output to Logger

You have two options: Open a logfile and replace sys.stdout with it, not a function: log = open(“myprog.log”, “a”) sys.stdout = log >>> print(“Hello”) >>> # nothing is printed because it goes to the log file instead. Replace print with your log function: # If you’re using python 2.x, uncomment the next line #from __future__ … Read more

logging with filters

Just implement a subclass of logging.Filter: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#filter-objects. It will have one method, filter(record), that examines the log record and returns True to log it or False to discard it. Then you can install the filter on either a Logger or a Handler by calling its addFilter(filter) method. Example: class NoParsingFilter(logging.Filter): def filter(self, record): return not … Read more

Python: Logging TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

You cannot use new-style formatting when using the logging module; use %s instead of {}. logging.info(‘date=%s’, date) The logging module uses the old-style % operator to format the log string. See the debug method for more detail. If you really want to use str.format() string formatting, consider using custom objects that apply the formatting ‘late’, … Read more

python exception message capturing

You have to define which type of exception you want to catch. So write except Exception, e: instead of except, e: for a general exception (that will be logged anyway). Other possibility is to write your whole try/except code this way: try: with open(filepath,’rb’) as f: con.storbinary(‘STOR ‘+ filepath, f) logger.info(‘File successfully uploaded to ‘+ … Read more
