This is an interactive tool for refactoring Python code. The mission is to replace print statements with calls to logging instead.

print_to_logging features:

  • it will ask you to accept or modify any proposed change
  • support for multiline strings and multiline print statements
  • preservation of comments
  • automatic f-string generation
  • preservation of custom print separators
  • interactive choice of logging level (info, warning, error, etc.)
  • showing a diff for before and after change

To try it out, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/tsoernes/print_to_logging.git && cd print_to_logging

Then run the program on the test file:

python print_to_logging.py -f testfile.py

or on a directory of python files:

python print_to_logging.py -d ~/code/my-python-project

See python print_to_logging.py --help:

usage: print_to_logging.py [-h] (-f FILE | -d DIRECTORY | -m MODULE) [-l {info,warning,error,critical,exception}] [--accept_all] [--context_lines CONTEXT_LINES]
