pyEventLogger is a simple Python Library for making customized Logs of certain events that occur in a program. The logs can be fully customized and can be printed in colored format or can be stored in a file.
Note: Your software or the console in which you are going to print colored logs should support the ANSI Escape Sequences or the colored logs feature may not work!
To install this library, type:
pip install pyEventLogger
in the Command Prompt or Terminal
To import this library, use the following code:
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger
There are 6 different types of logs in this library. In order of increasing importance, they are:
- Debug
- Info
- Warning
- Success
- Error
- Critical
Use the following program to print basic logs in the Console:
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger # Import the library
logger = pyLogger(colored_output=True) # Make an object of the pyLogger Class
# Note: If your console doesn't support the ANSI Escape Sequences then use: colored_output=False
logger.debug(message="This is Debug Message!") # Debug Log
logger.info(message="This is Information Message!") # Information Log
logger.warn(message="This is Warning Message!") # Warning Log
logger.success(message="This is Success Message!") # Success Log
logger.error(message="This is Error Message!") # Error Log
logger.critical(message="This is Critical Message!") # Critical Log
The pyLogger Class has the following Parameters:
colored_output
--> Set it toTrue
if you want colored outputprint_log
--> Set it toTrue
if you want your log to be printed out into the Consolemake_file
--> Set it toTrue
if you want your log to be stored in a filefile_name
--> If you set themake_file
parameter toTrue
, then you can use this parameter to change the file namerewrite_file
--> Set it toTrue
if you want your log file to be rewritten after you run the programfile_logs
--> If you want only the specified log messages in your file then pass this parameter with a list containing the log types you want. Example: If you want only the errors and critical messages in file then you pass the value of the parameter aspython ['ERROR', 'CRITICAL']
To customize a log, use the format_log(log_type, format_string)
function. For example, if you want to customize
the log type of Debug, then use the following code:
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger
logger = pyLogger()
debug_format_string = "[log_type] [time] [message]" # Define a variable for the format string
logger.format_log(log_type='DEBUG', format_string=debug_format_string) # Use this function to format a log
logger.debug(message="This is Debug Message!")
See the above example. It has a variable called debug_format_string
which defines how the contents of the Log
should be.
The format string should have a format like "[time] [log_type] [message]"
. Where the contents in the squared
braces []
will be replaced with the values of the parameters you pass to that function. You can give any number of
spaces you like between the contents. Example:
"[log_type] [time] [message]"
. The log will be printed in the same format and also can be written in a
file in the same format.
There are some special meanings to some parameters like log_type
. The program automatically adds the log type even
if the user doesn't pass that parameter's value to a function, also the time
parameter will be given a default
value of the time that function is called.
You can add any number of contents in a log. Example Code:
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger
logger = pyLogger()
debug_format_string = "[log_type] [time] [message] [file_name]" # Add a 'file_name' content
logger.format_log(log_type='DEBUG', format_string=debug_format_string)
logger.debug(message="This is Debug Message!", file_name="main.py") # Set a value to the added content
To customize a log's color, use the format_log_color(log_type, format_string)
function. For example, if you want
to customize the log type of Debug, then use the following code:
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger
logger = pyLogger(colored_output=True) # Set the colored output to True
debug_format_string = "[log_type] [time] [file_name] [message]" # Define a variable for the format string
debug_format_color = "[bold cyan black] [normal yellow black] [italic magenta black] [normal white black]" # Define a variable for the format color
logger.format_log(log_type='DEBUG', format_string=debug_format_string) # Format the log
logger.format_log_color(log_type='DEBUG', format_string=debug_format_color) # Format the color
logger.debug(message="This is Debug Message!", file_name="main.py")
In the above example, you can see that there is a variable defined for the log color.
The format of color string should be the same as text string.
The contents should be seperated by space.
The first content in square braces should be the text style like normal
, bold
,italic
,etc.
The second content should be the text color and the third should be background color. You can also use HEX values for colors too!
These three elements should be seperated by a space.
The first content will be the style for first item in log and so on...
To change the format of time, use the format_time
variable of the pyLogger
class It should be in string
format and is the same format as used in Python time.strftime()
function.
To include the error messages along with the log message in error and critical logs, set the include_error_message
parameter of the error and critical functions to True
import time
import random
from pyEventLogger import pyLogger
logger = pyLogger(colored_output=False, make_file=True, file_name='math', rewrite_file=True)
logger.format_log(log_type="INFO", format_string="[time] [log_type] [message] [answer]")
logger.format_log_color(log_type="INFO",
format_string="[bold yellow black][bold magenta black][normal #FFFFFF black][italic green black]")
while True:
try:
logger.debug(message="Taking two random numbers...")
n1 = random.randint(-10, 10)
n2 = random.randint(-10, 10)
logger.debug(message="Successfully found two random numbers!")
logger.info(message=f"Two numbers are {n1} and {n2}")
logger.debug(message="Starting operations with two numbers...")
addition = n1 + n2
logger.info(message="Added two numbers:", answer=addition)
subtraction = n2 - n1
logger.info(message="Subtracted two numbers:", answer=subtraction)
multiplication = n1 * n2
logger.info(message="Multiplied two numbers:", answer=multiplication)
division = n2 / n1
logger.info(message="Divided two numbers:", answer=division)
logger.success(message="Successfully completed operations with two numbers!")
except ZeroDivisionError:
logger.error(message="An Error Occurred!", include_error_message=True)
time.sleep(10)
