log configurator

Simple configurator for the python logging package that allows simultaneous file and shell logging

installation

The log configurator can easily be installed from pypi

pip install log-configurator

usage

Import the package and the default python logging

import log_configurator
import logging

Configure python logging

log_configurator.setup_root_logger()

Create a logging instance in your module as usual and log with it

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info('Log Horizon')

buffer initial output

If you need more complex argument parsing before you can configure the logger you can buffer it and have it logged once you configure your logger.

initial_log = log_configurator.buffer_log()
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info('Early log information')

# <your setup code goes here>

log_configurator.setup_root_logger()
logger.debug(initial_log.getvalue())

The early log output currently can only be logged with one severity level.
