catslog

About

A python package which, as implied by it's name, does two things. Logs(function execution along with the arguments passed) and catch(es) a potential exception. It is a name combination of two things people love. (Chocolate)logs and cats.

Why are you occupying bits from the internetz(original goal)?

The original goal, was to get rid of some boilerplate code, because I noticed "too many functions" in my statistical sample, follow the pattern:

• Enter function body
• Log stuff
• Catch potential exceptions

Also, this could help prettifying your code, as a result

I love it, how do I install it?

pip install catslog You might need to use pip3 and/or sudo, depending on your setup. I.e sudo pip3 install catslog

How do I use it

# First import the package
from catslog import catslog
# Then, decorate a target function
@catslog
def cats_me_if_you_can(*args, **kwargs):
 # Moar code

I have python 1.3, will it work?

Unfortunately no. I have developed it and tested it, only with python3. But if you have done it, please check the next section. I am more than happy to hear from you.

I have forked your repository and extended it a bit. Would you like to take a look?

Thats great, thank you in advance for your efforts. Feel free to raise a pull request and I will have a look asap.

How to build from source
