VDLogging

Python Module for Version and Delta Error Logging

Description

A fairly simple Python Error Logging module that will:

• Create a log file in a specific directory
• Automatically incriment the version IF a previous log exists
• Automatically start a timer at the start of the program
• Automatically calculate a delta (time from start) for each log
• All Errors are logged (appended) to the same file

It will NOT exit the application at any point, unless the log cannot be created—
or if you specificy error(..., exit=True)

Note

New log files are only created when the program / module is initalized.

Default Setup:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import vdlogging

L = Logging("my_program")
L.log_event(error_number, descriptions)
# or
L.error(errno, prompt, exit=True)

The name passed in the Class declaration is what the logs will be named, along with a version number.
Optionally you can pass a specific location, instead of using the default /tmp/

L = Logging("my_program", "/var/logs/")

Example Output:

$ cat /tmp/my_program_1.log
