Understanding Python: Logging Basics

[@JakeCallahan]

Logging is a large subject! Is there anything you'd specifically like to know, or something you find difficult?

Hey, to me it is unclear how to use logging when we have multiprocessing involved. I would love of you could cover that or point me to good quality resource that goes deep on this. Love your videos btw

[@JakeCallahan]

Multiprocessing adds a complication for simple logging, since there is a strong possibility of race conditions. What I would recommend is to aopend an id to your log file name for each subprocesses. This makes it easier to identify what each is doing independent of each other and the main process.

GREAT VIDEO! I've put off diving into the specifics of logger for a while now as it wasn't really a priority. Looks like you did all the heavy lifting for me! Suggestion: It would have been cool to see an example of implementing a application argument via argeparse to set the default log level.

another great video! love your intro! smooth and well done!

Amazing video, my dear friend! Congrats!! 😉👍

I was wondering if there are any particular benefits to writing class-based loggers. Also, how to do them 'right'... Would love to see something on that subject.

Hi, Jake and thanks as always. Have you tried loguru instead of builtin logging? if yes, what is your opinion on it? looks like it is much simpler for configuration.

[@JakeCallahan]

For most of my work/personal projects, I use logzero. However, that project is no longer maintained, so will eventually die off. I have looked into loguru as an alternative and it does look promising. However, I'd really have to look into it's features before adopting over my own custom-built logging solution, since I tend to like to do things myself! If you do try it out, please follow up with your thoughts on it, I'd be very interested in what you think.
