Python中log的使用

• Logging

  Logging is a means of tracking events that happen when some software runs.

  Events also have an importance which the developer ascribes to the events, the importance can also be called the levels or severity.

  The standard levels and their applicability are described below(in increasing order of severity):

  Level	When it’s used	Numeric Value
  NOTSET		0
  DEBUG	Detailed information,typically of interest only when diagnosing problems	10
  INFO	Confirmation that things are working as expeted	20
  WARNING(default level)	An indication that something unexpencted happened, or indicative of some problem in the near future(e.g. ‘disk space low’), The software is still working as expected.	30
  ERROR	Due to a more serious problem, the software has not been able to perform some function.	40
  CRITICAL	A serious error,indicating that the program itself may be unable to continue running.	50

  Events that are tracked can be handled in different ways,like printing them to the console or writing them to a disk file.

• logging:Logging facility for Python

  logging is the Python standard library implementing Logging.

  The basic classes defined by the module,together with their functions,are listed below:

  • Loggers expose the interface that application code directly uses.
  • Handlers send the log records(created by loggers) to the appropriate destination.
  • Filters provide a finer grained facility for determining which log records to output.
  • Formatters specify the layout of log records in the final output.
