cakelog

a lightweight logging library for python applications

This is a very small logging library to make logging in python easy and simple.

config

open the file:

 cakeconf.json

the file has the attribute:

logger: [
    {
        ...
    }
]

in this attribute you can add different logger-types
the syntax of a logger is:

"<name>": "<path>"

It is possible to add infinite loggers into the “logger”-section
“path”-value works with all types of text-like-files (.txt, .log, …)

Example of cakeconf.json:

logger: [
    {
        "common": "examplefolder/examplelog.txt",
        "second": "anotherfolder/2_examplelog.txt",
        "random": "randomfolder/log_rand.txt",
    }
]

functions

look_at_config()
  • show the raw “logger”-section of the config file
create_logger(<name>)
  • instantiate a logger by the “name”-value set in the “logger”-section of the cakeconf.json
  • “name”-value has to be set before calling this function
get_logger(<name>)
  • gives the “path”-value for a logger by the “name”-value set in the “logger”-section of the cakeconf.json
  • both values need to be set in the cakeconf.json file
log(<name>, <msg>)
  • logs the “msg”-value in the specified logger
  • “name”-value needs to be set in the “logger”-section of the cakeconf.json
