A Python decorator to easily log information about a function and send it to your email.
$ pip install email-function-loggerYou can set the email information as environment variable on your machine. To do this, add the following line to ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile depending on your OS).
export EMAIL_ADDRESS="example@domain.com"This step is optional since you can input the information during the function runtime.
from email_function_logger import log_function
@log_function
def mult(x, y):
# Function text output
print(x)
print(y)
# Value returned by function
return x * y
mult(9, 7)The log sent by email will look like this:
Subject:
Function 'mult' execution log
Body:
Function mult(9, 7) finished its execution.
Start time: Mar 16 18:32:16
Function text output:
9
7
Function returned: 63
End time: Mar 16 18:32:16
Total execution time: 00:00:00
The decorator receives the function information and send a request to a Flask API hosted on Heroku (available here). This API then sends the email to the address specified in the EMAIL_ADDRESS variable.
