---

This module defines functions and classes which implement a flexible event logging system for applications and libraries.

The key benefit of having the logging API provided by a standard library module is that all Python modules can participate in logging, so your application log can include your own messages integrated with messages from third-party modules.

Here's a simple example of idiomatic usage:

# myapp.py
import logging
import mylib
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def main():
    logging.basicConfig(filename='myapp.log', level=logging.INFO)
    logger.info('Started')
    mylib.do_something()
    logger.info('Finished')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

# mylib.py
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def do_something():
    logger.info('Doing something')

If you run myapp.py, you should see this in myapp.log:

INFO:__main__:Started
INFO:mylib:Doing something
INFO:__main__:Finished

The key feature of this idiomatic usage is that the majority of code is simply creating a module level logger with getLogger(__name__), and using that logger to do any needed logging. This is concise, while allowing downstream code fine-grained control if needed. Logged messages to the module-level logger get forwarded to handlers of loggers in higher-level modules, all the way up to the highest-level logger known as the root logger; this approach is known as hierarchical logging.

For logging to be useful, it needs to be configured: setting the levels and destinations for each logger, potentially changing how specific modules log, often based on command-line arguments or application configuration. In most cases, like the one above, only the root logger needs to be so configured, since all the lower level loggers at module level eventually forward their messages to its handlers. basicConfig() provides a quick way to configure the root logger that handles many use cases.

The module provides a lot of functionality and flexibility. If you are unfamiliar with logging, the best way to get to grips with it is to view the tutorials (see the links above and on the right).

The basic classes defined by the module, together with their attributes and methods, are listed in the sections 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.

Logger Objects

Loggers have the following attributes and methods. Note that Loggers should NEVER be instantiated directly, but always through the module-level function logging.getLogger(name). Multiple calls to getLogger() with the same name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.

The name is potentially a period-separated hierarchical value, like foo.bar.baz (though it could also be just plain foo, for example). Loggers that are further down in the hierarchical list are children of loggers higher up in the list. For example, given a logger with a name of foo, loggers with names of foo.bar, foo.bar.baz, and foo.bam are all descendants of foo. In addition, all loggers are descendants of the root logger. The logger name hierarchy is analogous to the Python package hierarchy, and identical to it if you organise your loggers on a per-module basis using the recommended construction logging.getLogger(__name__). That's because in a module, __name__ is the module's name in the Python package namespace.

class logging.Logger

name

This is the logger's name, and is the value that was passed to getLogger() to obtain the logger.

Catatan

This attribute should be treated as read-only.

level

The threshold of this logger, as set by the setLevel() method.

Catatan

Do not set this attribute directly - always use setLevel(), which has checks for the level passed to it.

parent

The parent logger of this logger. It may change based on later instantiation of loggers which are higher up in the namespace hierarchy.

Catatan

This value should be treated as read-only.

propagate

If this attribute evaluates to true, events logged to this logger will be passed to the handlers of higher level (ancestor) loggers, in addition to any handlers attached to this logger. Messages are passed directly to the ancestor loggers' handlers - neither the level nor filters of the ancestor loggers in question are considered.

If this evaluates to false, logging messages are not passed to the handlers of ancestor loggers.

Spelling it out with an example: If the propagate attribute of the logger named A.B.C evaluates to true, any event logged to A.B.C via a method call such as logging.getLogger('A.B.C').error(...) will [subject to passing that logger's level and filter settings] be passed in turn to any handlers attached to loggers named A.B, A and the root logger, after first being passed to any handlers attached to A.B.C. If any logger in the chain A.B.C, A.B, A has its propagate attribute set to false, then that is the last logger whose handlers are offered the event to handle, and propagation stops at that point.

The constructor sets this attribute to True.

Catatan

If you attach a handler to a logger and one or more of its ancestors, it may emit the same record multiple times. In general, you should not need to attach a handler to more than one logger - if you just attach it to the appropriate logger which is highest in the logger hierarchy, then it will see all events logged by all descendant loggers, provided that their propagate setting is left set to True. A common scenario is to attach handlers only to the root logger, and to let propagation take care of the rest.

handlers

The list of handlers directly attached to this logger instance.

Catatan

This attribute should be treated as read-only; it is normally changed via the addHandler() and removeHandler() methods, which use locks to ensure thread-safe operation.

disabled

This attribute disables handling of any events. It is set to False in the initializer, and only changed by logging configuration code.

Catatan

This attribute should be treated as read-only.

setLevel(level)

Sets the threshold for this logger to level. Logging messages which are less severe than level will be ignored; logging messages which have severity level or higher will be emitted by whichever handler or handlers service this logger, unless a handler's level has been set to a higher severity level than level.

When a logger is created, the level is set to NOTSET (which causes all messages to be processed when the logger is the root logger, or delegation to the parent when the logger is a non-root logger). Note that the root logger is created with level WARNING.

The term 'delegation to the parent' means that if a logger has a level of NOTSET, its chain of ancestor loggers is traversed until either an ancestor with a level other than NOTSET is found, or the root is reached.

If an ancestor is found with a level other than NOTSET, then that ancestor's level is treated as the effective level of the logger where the ancestor search began, and is used to determine how a logging event is handled.

If the root is reached, and it has a level of NOTSET, then all messages will be processed. Otherwise, the root's level will be used as the effective level.

See Logging Levels for a list of levels.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The level parameter now accepts a string representation of the level such as 'INFO' as an alternative to the integer constants such as INFO. Note, however, that levels are internally stored as integers, and methods such as e.g. getEffectiveLevel() and isEnabledFor() will return/expect to be passed integers.

isEnabledFor(level)

Indicates if a message of severity level would be processed by this logger. This method checks first the module-level level set by logging.disable(level) and then the logger's effective level as determined by getEffectiveLevel().

getEffectiveLevel()

Indicates the effective level for this logger. If a value other than NOTSET has been set using setLevel(), it is returned. Otherwise, the hierarchy is traversed towards the root until a value other than NOTSET is found, and that value is returned. The value returned is an integer, typically one of logging.DEBUG, logging.INFO etc.

getChild(suffix)

Returns a logger which is a descendant to this logger, as determined by the suffix. Thus, logging.getLogger('abc').getChild('def.ghi') would return the same logger as would be returned by logging.getLogger('abc.def.ghi'). This is a convenience method, useful when the parent logger is named using e.g. __name__ rather than a literal string.

Added in version 3.2.

getChildren()

Returns a set of loggers which are immediate children of this logger. So for example logging.getLogger().getChildren() might return a set containing loggers named foo and bar, but a logger named foo.bar wouldn't be included in the set. Likewise, logging.getLogger('foo').getChildren() might return a set including a logger named foo.bar, but it wouldn't include one named foo.bar.baz.

Added in version 3.12.

debug(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level DEBUG on this logger. The msg is the message format string, and the args are the arguments which are merged into msg using the string formatting operator. (Note that this means that you can use keywords in the format string, together with a single dictionary argument.) No % formatting operation is performed on msg when no args are supplied.

There are four keyword arguments in kwargs which are inspected: exc_info, stack_info, stacklevel and extra.

If exc_info does not evaluate as false, it causes exception information to be added to the logging message. If an exception tuple (in the format returned by sys.exc_info()) or an exception instance is provided, it is used; otherwise, sys.exc_info() is called to get the exception information.

The second optional keyword argument is stack_info, which defaults to False. If true, stack information is added to the logging message, including the actual logging call. Note that this is not the same stack information as that displayed through specifying exc_info: The former is stack frames from the bottom of the stack up to the logging call in the current thread, whereas the latter is information about stack frames which have been unwound, following an exception, while searching for exception handlers.

You can specify stack_info independently of exc_info, e.g. to just show how you got to a certain point in your code, even when no exceptions were raised. The stack frames are printed following a header line which says:

Stack (most recent call last):

This mimics the Traceback (most recent call last): which is used when displaying exception frames.

The third optional keyword argument is stacklevel, which defaults to 1. If greater than 1, the corresponding number of stack frames are skipped when computing the line number and function name set in the LogRecord created for the logging event. This can be used in logging helpers so that the function name, filename and line number recorded are not the information for the helper function/method, but rather its caller. The name of this parameter mirrors the equivalent one in the warnings module.

The fourth keyword argument is extra which can be used to pass a dictionary which is used to populate the __dict__ of the LogRecord created for the logging event with user-defined attributes. These custom attributes can then be used as you like. For example, they could be incorporated into logged messages. For example:

FORMAT = '%(asctime)s %(clientip)-15s %(user)-8s %(message)s'
logging.basicConfig(format=FORMAT)
d = {'clientip': '192.168.0.1', 'user': 'fbloggs'}
logger = logging.getLogger('tcpserver')
logger.warning('Protocol problem: %s', 'connection reset', extra=d)

would print something like

2006-02-08 22:20:02,165 192.168.0.1 fbloggs  Protocol problem: connection reset

The keys in the dictionary passed in extra should not clash with the keys used by the logging system. (See the section on LogRecord attributes for more information on which keys are used by the logging system.)

If you choose to use these attributes in logged messages, you need to exercise some care. In the above example, for instance, the Formatter has been set up with a format string which expects 'clientip' and 'user' in the attribute dictionary of the LogRecord. If these are missing, the message will not be logged because a string formatting exception will occur. So in this case, you always need to pass the extra dictionary with these keys.

While this might be annoying, this feature is intended for use in specialized circumstances, such as multi-threaded servers where the same code executes in many contexts, and interesting conditions which arise are dependent on this context (such as remote client IP address and authenticated user name, in the above example). In such circumstances, it is likely that specialized Formatters would be used with particular Handlers.

If no handler is attached to this logger (or any of its ancestors, taking into account the relevant Logger.propagate attributes), the message will be sent to the handler set on lastResort.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The stack_info parameter was added.

Berubah pada versi 3.5: The exc_info parameter can now accept exception instances.

Berubah pada versi 3.8: The stacklevel parameter was added.

info(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level INFO on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug().

warning(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level WARNING on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug().

Catatan

There is an obsolete method warn which is functionally identical to warning. As warn is deprecated, please do not use it - use warning instead.

error(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level ERROR on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug().

critical(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level CRITICAL on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug().

log(level, msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with integer level level on this logger. The other arguments are interpreted as for debug().

exception(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level ERROR on this logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug(). Exception info is added to the logging message. This method should only be called from an exception handler.

addFilter(filter)

Adds the specified filter filter to this logger.

removeFilter(filter)

Removes the specified filter filter from this logger.

filter(record)

Apply this logger's filters to the record and return True if the record is to be processed. The filters are consulted in turn, until one of them returns a false value. If none of them return a false value, the record will be processed (passed to handlers). If one returns a false value, no further processing of the record occurs.

addHandler(hdlr)

Adds the specified handler hdlr to this logger.

removeHandler(hdlr)

Removes the specified handler hdlr from this logger.

findCaller(stack_info=False, stacklevel=1)

Finds the caller's source filename and line number. Returns the filename, line number, function name and stack information as a 4-element tuple. The stack information is returned as None unless stack_info is True.

The stacklevel parameter is passed from code calling the debug() and other APIs. If greater than 1, the excess is used to skip stack frames before determining the values to be returned. This will generally be useful when calling logging APIs from helper/wrapper code, so that the information in the event log refers not to the helper/wrapper code, but to the code that calls it.

handle(record)

Handles a record by passing it to all handlers associated with this logger and its ancestors (until a false value of propagate is found). This method is used for unpickled records received from a socket, as well as those created locally. Logger-level filtering is applied using filter().

makeRecord(name, level, fn, lno, msg, args, exc_info, func=None, extra=None, sinfo=None)

This is a factory method which can be overridden in subclasses to create specialized LogRecord instances.

hasHandlers()

Checks to see if this logger has any handlers configured. This is done by looking for handlers in this logger and its parents in the logger hierarchy. Returns True if a handler was found, else False. The method stops searching up the hierarchy whenever a logger with the 'propagate' attribute set to false is found - that will be the last logger which is checked for the existence of handlers.

Added in version 3.2.

Berubah pada versi 3.7: Loggers can now be pickled and unpickled.

Logging Levels

The numeric values of logging levels are given in the following table. These are primarily of interest if you want to define your own levels, and need them to have specific values relative to the predefined levels. If you define a level with the same numeric value, it overwrites the predefined value; the predefined name is lost.

Level	Nilai angka	What it means / When to use it
logging.NOTSET	0	When set on a logger, indicates that ancestor loggers are to be consulted to determine the effective level. If that still resolves to NOTSET, then all events are logged. When set on a handler, all events are handled.
logging.DEBUG	10	Detailed information, typically only of interest to a developer trying to diagnose a problem.
logging.INFO	20	Confirmation that things are working as expected.
logging.WARNING	30	An indication that something unexpected happened, or that a problem might occur in the near future (e.g. 'disk space low'). The software is still working as expected.
logging.ERROR	40	Due to a more serious problem, the software has not been able to perform some function.
logging.CRITICAL	50	A serious error, indicating that the program itself may be unable to continue running.

Handler Objects

Handlers have the following attributes and methods. Note that Handler is never instantiated directly; this class acts as a base for more useful subclasses. However, the __init__() method in subclasses needs to call Handler.__init__().

class logging.Handler

__init__(level=NOTSET)

Initializes the Handler instance by setting its level, setting the list of filters to the empty list and creating a lock (using createLock()) for serializing access to an I/O mechanism.

createLock()

Initializes a thread lock which can be used to serialize access to underlying I/O functionality which may not be threadsafe.

acquire()

Acquires the thread lock created with createLock().

release()

Releases the thread lock acquired with acquire().

setLevel(level)

Sets the threshold for this handler to level. Logging messages which are less severe than level will be ignored. When a handler is created, the level is set to NOTSET (which causes all messages to be processed).

See Logging Levels for a list of levels.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The level parameter now accepts a string representation of the level such as 'INFO' as an alternative to the integer constants such as INFO.

setFormatter(fmt)

Sets the Formatter for this handler to fmt.

addFilter(filter)

Adds the specified filter filter to this handler.

removeFilter(filter)

Removes the specified filter filter from this handler.

filter(record)

Apply this handler's filters to the record and return True if the record is to be processed. The filters are consulted in turn, until one of them returns a false value. If none of them return a false value, the record will be emitted. If one returns a false value, the handler will not emit the record.

flush()

Ensure all logging output has been flushed. This version does nothing and is intended to be implemented by subclasses.

close()

Tidy up any resources used by the handler. This version does no output but removes the handler from an internal list of handlers which is closed when shutdown() is called. Subclasses should ensure that this gets called from overridden close() methods.

handle(record)

Conditionally emits the specified logging record, depending on filters which may have been added to the handler. Wraps the actual emission of the record with acquisition/release of the I/O thread lock.

handleError(record)

This method should be called from handlers when an exception is encountered during an emit() call. If the module-level attribute raiseExceptions is False, exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly wanted for a logging system - most users will not care about errors in the logging system, they are more interested in application errors. You could, however, replace this with a custom handler if you wish. The specified record is the one which was being processed when the exception occurred. (The default value of raiseExceptions is True, as that is more useful during development).

format(record)

Do formatting for a record - if a formatter is set, use it. Otherwise, use the default formatter for the module.

emit(record)

Do whatever it takes to actually log the specified logging record. This version is intended to be implemented by subclasses and so raises a NotImplementedError.

Peringatan

This method is called after a handler-level lock is acquired, which is released after this method returns. When you override this method, note that you should be careful when calling anything that invokes other parts of the logging API which might do locking, because that might result in a deadlock. Specifically:

• Logging configuration APIs acquire the module-level lock, and then individual handler-level locks as those handlers are configured.

• Many logging APIs lock the module-level lock. If such an API is called from this method, it could cause a deadlock if a configuration call is made on another thread, because that thread will try to acquire the module-level lock before the handler-level lock, whereas this thread tries to acquire the module-level lock after the handler-level lock (because in this method, the handler-level lock has already been acquired).

For a list of handlers included as standard, see logging.handlers.

Formatter Objects

class logging.Formatter(fmt=None, datefmt=None, style='%', validate=True, *, defaults=None)

Responsible for converting a LogRecord to an output string to be interpreted by a human or external system.

Parameter:

• fmt (str) -- A format string in the given style for the logged output as a whole. The possible mapping keys are drawn from the LogRecord object's LogRecord attributes. If not specified, '%(message)s' is used, which is just the logged message.

• datefmt (str) -- A format string in the given style for the date/time portion of the logged output. If not specified, the default described in formatTime() is used.

• style (str) -- Can be one of '%', '{' or '$' and determines how the format string will be merged with its data: using one of printf-style String Formatting (%), str.format() ({) or string.Template ($). This only applies to fmt and datefmt (e.g. '%(message)s' versus '{message}'), not to the actual log messages passed to the logging methods. However, there are other ways to use {- and $-formatting for log messages.

• validate (bool) -- If True (the default), incorrect or mismatched fmt and style will raise a ValueError; for example, logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(message)s', style='{').

• defaults (dict[str, Any]) -- A dictionary with default values to use in custom fields. For example, logging.Formatter('%(ip)s %(message)s', defaults={"ip": None})

Berubah pada versi 3.2: Added the style parameter.

Berubah pada versi 3.8: Added the validate parameter.

Berubah pada versi 3.10: Added the defaults parameter.

format(record)

The record's attribute dictionary is used as the operand to a string formatting operation. Returns the resulting string. Before formatting the dictionary, a couple of preparatory steps are carried out. The message attribute of the record is computed using msg % args. If the formatting string contains '(asctime)', formatTime() is called to format the event time. If there is exception information, it is formatted using formatException() and appended to the message. Note that the formatted exception information is cached in attribute exc_text. This is useful because the exception information can be pickled and sent across the wire, but you should be careful if you have more than one Formatter subclass which customizes the formatting of exception information. In this case, you will have to clear the cached value (by setting the exc_text attribute to None) after a formatter has done its formatting, so that the next formatter to handle the event doesn't use the cached value, but recalculates it afresh.

If stack information is available, it's appended after the exception information, using formatStack() to transform it if necessary.

formatTime(record, datefmt=None)

This method should be called from format() by a formatter which wants to make use of a formatted time. This method can be overridden in formatters to provide for any specific requirement, but the basic behavior is as follows: if datefmt (a string) is specified, it is used with time.strftime() to format the creation time of the record. Otherwise, the format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,uuu' is used, where the uuu part is a millisecond value and the other letters are as per the time.strftime() documentation. An example time in this format is 2003-01-23 00:29:50,411. The resulting string is returned.

This function uses a user-configurable function to convert the creation time to a tuple. By default, time.localtime() is used; to change this for a particular formatter instance, set the converter attribute to a function with the same signature as time.localtime() or time.gmtime(). To change it for all formatters, for example if you want all logging times to be shown in GMT, set the converter attribute in the Formatter class.

Berubah pada versi 3.3: Previously, the default format was hard-coded as in this example: 2010-09-06 22:38:15,292 where the part before the comma is handled by a strptime format string ('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), and the part after the comma is a millisecond value. Because strptime does not have a format placeholder for milliseconds, the millisecond value is appended using another format string, '%s,%03d' --- and both of these format strings have been hardcoded into this method. With the change, these strings are defined as class-level attributes which can be overridden at the instance level when desired. The names of the attributes are default_time_format (for the strptime format string) and default_msec_format (for appending the millisecond value).

Berubah pada versi 3.9: The default_msec_format can be None.

formatException(exc_info)

Formats the specified exception information (a standard exception tuple as returned by sys.exc_info()) as a string. This default implementation just uses traceback.print_exception(). The resulting string is returned.

formatStack(stack_info)

Formats the specified stack information (a string as returned by traceback.print_stack(), but with the last newline removed) as a string. This default implementation just returns the input value.

class logging.BufferingFormatter(linefmt=None)

A base formatter class suitable for subclassing when you want to format a number of records. You can pass a Formatter instance which you want to use to format each line (that corresponds to a single record). If not specified, the default formatter (which just outputs the event message) is used as the line formatter.

formatHeader(records)

Return a header for a list of records. The base implementation just returns the empty string. You will need to override this method if you want specific behaviour, e.g. to show the count of records, a title or a separator line.

formatFooter(records)

Return a footer for a list of records. The base implementation just returns the empty string. You will need to override this method if you want specific behaviour, e.g. to show the count of records or a separator line.

format(records)

Return formatted text for a list of records. The base implementation just returns the empty string if there are no records; otherwise, it returns the concatenation of the header, each record formatted with the line formatter, and the footer.

Filter Objects

Filters can be used by Handlers and Loggers for more sophisticated filtering than is provided by levels. The base filter class only allows events which are below a certain point in the logger hierarchy. For example, a filter initialized with 'A.B' will allow events logged by loggers 'A.B', 'A.B.C', 'A.B.C.D', 'A.B.D' etc. but not 'A.BB', 'B.A.B' etc. If initialized with the empty string, all events are passed.

class logging.Filter(name='')

Returns an instance of the Filter class. If name is specified, it names a logger which, together with its children, will have its events allowed through the filter. If name is the empty string, allows every event.

filter(record)

Is the specified record to be logged? Returns false for no, true for yes. Filters can either modify log records in-place or return a completely different record instance which will replace the original log record in any future processing of the event.

Note that filters attached to handlers are consulted before an event is emitted by the handler, whereas filters attached to loggers are consulted whenever an event is logged (using debug(), info(), etc.), before sending an event to handlers. This means that events which have been generated by descendant loggers will not be filtered by a logger's filter setting, unless the filter has also been applied to those descendant loggers.

You don't actually need to subclass Filter: you can pass any instance which has a filter method with the same semantics.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: You don't need to create specialized Filter classes, or use other classes with a filter method: you can use a function (or other callable) as a filter. The filtering logic will check to see if the filter object has a filter attribute: if it does, it's assumed to be a Filter and its filter() method is called. Otherwise, it's assumed to be a callable and called with the record as the single parameter. The returned value should conform to that returned by filter().

Berubah pada versi 3.12: You can now return a LogRecord instance from filters to replace the log record rather than modifying it in place. This allows filters attached to a Handler to modify the log record before it is emitted, without having side effects on other handlers.

Although filters are used primarily to filter records based on more sophisticated criteria than levels, they get to see every record which is processed by the handler or logger they're attached to: this can be useful if you want to do things like counting how many records were processed by a particular logger or handler, or adding, changing or removing attributes in the LogRecord being processed. Obviously changing the LogRecord needs to be done with some care, but it does allow the injection of contextual information into logs (see Using Filters to impart contextual information).

LogRecord Objects

LogRecord instances are created automatically by the Logger every time something is logged, and can be created manually via makeLogRecord() (for example, from a pickled event received over the wire).

class logging.LogRecord(name, level, pathname, lineno, msg, args, exc_info, func=None, sinfo=None)

Contains all the information pertinent to the event being logged.

The primary information is passed in msg and args, which are combined using msg % args to create the message attribute of the record.

Parameter:

• name (str) -- The name of the logger used to log the event represented by this LogRecord. Note that the logger name in the LogRecord will always have this value, even though it may be emitted by a handler attached to a different (ancestor) logger.

• level (int) -- The numeric level of the logging event (such as 10 for DEBUG, 20 for INFO, etc). Note that this is converted to two attributes of the LogRecord: levelno for the numeric value and levelname for the corresponding level name.

• pathname (str) -- The full string path of the source file where the logging call was made.

• lineno (int) -- The line number in the source file where the logging call was made.

• msg (Any) -- The event description message, which can be a %-format string with placeholders for variable data, or an arbitrary object (see Using arbitrary objects as messages).

• args (tuple | dict[str, Any]) -- Variable data to merge into the msg argument to obtain the event description.

• exc_info (tuple[type[BaseException], BaseException, types.TracebackType] | None) -- An exception tuple with the current exception information, as returned by sys.exc_info(), or None if no exception information is available.

• func (str | None) -- The name of the function or method from which the logging call was invoked.

• sinfo (str | None) -- A text string representing stack information from the base of the stack in the current thread, up to the logging call.

getMessage()

Returns the message for this LogRecord instance after merging any user-supplied arguments with the message. If the user-supplied message argument to the logging call is not a string, str() is called on it to convert it to a string. This allows use of user-defined classes as messages, whose __str__ method can return the actual format string to be used.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The creation of a LogRecord has been made more configurable by providing a factory which is used to create the record. The factory can be set using getLogRecordFactory() and setLogRecordFactory() (see this for the factory's signature).

This functionality can be used to inject your own values into a LogRecord at creation time. You can use the following pattern:

old_factory = logging.getLogRecordFactory()

def record_factory(*args, **kwargs):
    record = old_factory(*args, **kwargs)
    record.custom_attribute = 0xdecafbad
    return record

logging.setLogRecordFactory(record_factory)

With this pattern, multiple factories could be chained, and as long as they don't overwrite each other's attributes or unintentionally overwrite the standard attributes listed above, there should be no surprises.

LogRecord attributes

The LogRecord has a number of attributes, most of which are derived from the parameters to the constructor. (Note that the names do not always correspond exactly between the LogRecord constructor parameters and the LogRecord attributes.) These attributes can be used to merge data from the record into the format string. The following table lists (in alphabetical order) the attribute names, their meanings and the corresponding placeholder in a %-style format string.

If you are using {}-formatting (str.format()), you can use {attrname} as the placeholder in the format string. If you are using $-formatting (string.Template), use the form ${attrname}. In both cases, of course, replace attrname with the actual attribute name you want to use.

In the case of {}-formatting, you can specify formatting flags by placing them after the attribute name, separated from it with a colon. For example: a placeholder of {msecs:03.0f} would format a millisecond value of 4 as 004. Refer to the str.format() documentation for full details on the options available to you.

LoggerAdapter Objects

LoggerAdapter instances are used to conveniently pass contextual information into logging calls. For a usage example, see the section on adding contextual information to your logging output.

class logging.LoggerAdapter(logger, extra, merge_extra=False)

Returns an instance of LoggerAdapter initialized with an underlying Logger instance, a dict-like object (extra), and a boolean (merge_extra) indicating whether or not the extra argument of individual log calls should be merged with the LoggerAdapter extra. The default behavior is to ignore the extra argument of individual log calls and only use the one of the LoggerAdapter instance

process(msg, kwargs)

Modifies the message and/or keyword arguments passed to a logging call in order to insert contextual information. This implementation takes the object passed as extra to the constructor and adds it to kwargs using key 'extra'. The return value is a (msg, kwargs) tuple which has the (possibly modified) versions of the arguments passed in.

manager

Delegates to the underlying manager on logger.

_log

Delegates to the underlying _log() method on logger.

In addition to the above, LoggerAdapter supports the following methods of Logger: debug(), info(), warning(), error(), exception(), critical(), log(), isEnabledFor(), getEffectiveLevel(), setLevel() and hasHandlers(). These methods have the same signatures as their counterparts in Logger, so you can use the two types of instances interchangeably.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The isEnabledFor(), getEffectiveLevel(), setLevel() and hasHandlers() methods were added to LoggerAdapter. These methods delegate to the underlying logger.

Berubah pada versi 3.6: Attribute manager and method _log() were added, which delegate to the underlying logger and allow adapters to be nested.

Berubah pada versi 3.13: The merge_extra argument was added.

Thread Safety

The logging module is intended to be thread-safe without any special work needing to be done by its clients. It achieves this though using threading locks; there is one lock to serialize access to the module's shared data, and each handler also creates a lock to serialize access to its underlying I/O.

If you are implementing asynchronous signal handlers using the signal module, you may not be able to use logging from within such handlers. This is because lock implementations in the threading module are not always re-entrant, and so cannot be invoked from such signal handlers.

Module-Level Functions

In addition to the classes described above, there are a number of module-level functions.

logging.getLogger(name=None)

Return a logger with the specified name or, if name is None, return the root logger of the hierarchy. If specified, the name is typically a dot-separated hierarchical name like 'a', 'a.b' or 'a.b.c.d'. Choice of these names is entirely up to the developer who is using logging, though it is recommended that __name__ be used unless you have a specific reason for not doing that, as mentioned in Logger Objects.

All calls to this function with a given name return the same logger instance. This means that logger instances never need to be passed between different parts of an application.

logging.getLoggerClass()

Return either the standard Logger class, or the last class passed to setLoggerClass(). This function may be called from within a new class definition, to ensure that installing a customized Logger class will not undo customizations already applied by other code. For example:

class MyLogger(logging.getLoggerClass()):
    # ... override behaviour here

logging.getLogRecordFactory()

Return a callable which is used to create a LogRecord.

Added in version 3.2: This function has been provided, along with setLogRecordFactory(), to allow developers more control over how the LogRecord representing a logging event is constructed.

See setLogRecordFactory() for more information about the how the factory is called.

logging.debug(msg, *args, **kwargs)

This is a convenience function that calls Logger.debug(), on the root logger. The handling of the arguments is in every way identical to what is described in that method.

The only difference is that if the root logger has no handlers, then basicConfig() is called, prior to calling debug on the root logger.

For very short scripts or quick demonstrations of logging facilities, debug and the other module-level functions may be convenient. However, most programs will want to carefully and explicitly control the logging configuration, and should therefore prefer creating a module-level logger and calling Logger.debug() (or other level-specific methods) on it, as described at the beginnning of this documentation.

logging.info(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level INFO on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug().

logging.warning(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level WARNING on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug().

Catatan

There is an obsolete function warn which is functionally identical to warning. As warn is deprecated, please do not use it - use warning instead.

logging.error(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level ERROR on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug().

logging.critical(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level CRITICAL on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug().

logging.exception(msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level ERROR on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug(). Exception info is added to the logging message. This function should only be called from an exception handler.

logging.log(level, msg, *args, **kwargs)

Logs a message with level level on the root logger. The arguments and behavior are otherwise the same as for debug().

logging.disable(level=CRITICAL)

Provides an overriding level level for all loggers which takes precedence over the logger's own level. When the need arises to temporarily throttle logging output down across the whole application, this function can be useful. Its effect is to disable all logging calls of severity level and below, so that if you call it with a value of INFO, then all INFO and DEBUG events would be discarded, whereas those of severity WARNING and above would be processed according to the logger's effective level. If logging.disable(logging.NOTSET) is called, it effectively removes this overriding level, so that logging output again depends on the effective levels of individual loggers.

Note that if you have defined any custom logging level higher than CRITICAL (this is not recommended), you won't be able to rely on the default value for the level parameter, but will have to explicitly supply a suitable value.

Berubah pada versi 3.7: The level parameter was defaulted to level CRITICAL. See bpo-28524 for more information about this change.

logging.addLevelName(level, levelName)

Associates level level with text levelName in an internal dictionary, which is used to map numeric levels to a textual representation, for example when a Formatter formats a message. This function can also be used to define your own levels. The only constraints are that all levels used must be registered using this function, levels should be positive integers and they should increase in increasing order of severity.

Catatan

If you are thinking of defining your own levels, please see the section on Custom Levels.

logging.getLevelNamesMapping()

Returns a mapping from level names to their corresponding logging levels. For example, the string "CRITICAL" maps to CRITICAL. The returned mapping is copied from an internal mapping on each call to this function.

Added in version 3.11.

logging.getLevelName(level)

Returns the textual or numeric representation of logging level level.

If level is one of the predefined levels CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO or DEBUG then you get the corresponding string. If you have associated levels with names using addLevelName() then the name you have associated with level is returned. If a numeric value corresponding to one of the defined levels is passed in, the corresponding string representation is returned.

The level parameter also accepts a string representation of the level such as 'INFO'. In such cases, this functions returns the corresponding numeric value of the level.

If no matching numeric or string value is passed in, the string 'Level %s' % level is returned.

Catatan

Levels are internally integers (as they need to be compared in the logging logic). This function is used to convert between an integer level and the level name displayed in the formatted log output by means of the %(levelname)s format specifier (see LogRecord attributes), and vice versa.

Berubah pada versi 3.4: In Python versions earlier than 3.4, this function could also be passed a text level, and would return the corresponding numeric value of the level. This undocumented behaviour was considered a mistake, and was removed in Python 3.4, but reinstated in 3.4.2 due to retain backward compatibility.

logging.getHandlerByName(name)

Returns a handler with the specified name, or None if there is no handler with that name.

Added in version 3.12.

logging.getHandlerNames()

Returns an immutable set of all known handler names.

Added in version 3.12.

logging.makeLogRecord(attrdict)

Creates and returns a new LogRecord instance whose attributes are defined by attrdict. This function is useful for taking a pickled LogRecord attribute dictionary, sent over a socket, and reconstituting it as a LogRecord instance at the receiving end.

logging.basicConfig(**kwargs)

Does basic configuration for the logging system by creating a StreamHandler with a default Formatter and adding it to the root logger. The functions debug(), info(), warning(), error() and critical() will call basicConfig() automatically if no handlers are defined for the root logger.

This function does nothing if the root logger already has handlers configured, unless the keyword argument force is set to True.

Catatan

This function should be called from the main thread before other threads are started. In versions of Python prior to 2.7.1 and 3.2, if this function is called from multiple threads, it is possible (in rare circumstances) that a handler will be added to the root logger more than once, leading to unexpected results such as messages being duplicated in the log.

The following keyword arguments are supported.

Format	Deskripsi
filename	Specifies that a FileHandler be created, using the specified filename, rather than a StreamHandler.
filemode	If filename is specified, open the file in this mode. Defaults to 'a'.
format	Use the specified format string for the handler. Defaults to attributes levelname, name and message separated by colons.
datefmt	Use the specified date/time format, as accepted by time.strftime().
style	If format is specified, use this style for the format string. One of '%', '{' or '$' for printf-style, str.format() or string.Template respectively. Defaults to '%'.
level	Set the root logger level to the specified level.
stream	Use the specified stream to initialize the StreamHandler. Note that this argument is incompatible with filename - if both are present, a ValueError is raised.
handlers	If specified, this should be an iterable of already created handlers to add to the root logger. Any handlers which don't already have a formatter set will be assigned the default formatter created in this function. Note that this argument is incompatible with filename or stream - if both are present, a ValueError is raised.
force	If this keyword argument is specified as true, any existing handlers attached to the root logger are removed and closed, before carrying out the configuration as specified by the other arguments.
encoding	If this keyword argument is specified along with filename, its value is used when the FileHandler is created, and thus used when opening the output file.
errors	If this keyword argument is specified along with filename, its value is used when the FileHandler is created, and thus used when opening the output file. If not specified, the value 'backslashreplace' is used. Note that if None is specified, it will be passed as such to open(), which means that it will be treated the same as passing 'errors'.

Berubah pada versi 3.2: The style argument was added.

Berubah pada versi 3.3: The handlers argument was added. Additional checks were added to catch situations where incompatible arguments are specified (e.g. handlers together with stream or filename, or stream together with filename).

Berubah pada versi 3.8: The force argument was added.

Berubah pada versi 3.9: The encoding and errors arguments were added.

logging.shutdown()

Informs the logging system to perform an orderly shutdown by flushing and closing all handlers. This should be called at application exit and no further use of the logging system should be made after this call.

When the logging module is imported, it registers this function as an exit handler (see atexit), so normally there's no need to do that manually.

logging.setLoggerClass(klass)

Tells the logging system to use the class klass when instantiating a logger. The class should define __init__() such that only a name argument is required, and the __init__() should call Logger.__init__(). This function is typically called before any loggers are instantiated by applications which need to use custom logger behavior. After this call, as at any other time, do not instantiate loggers directly using the subclass: continue to use the logging.getLogger() API to get your loggers.

logging.setLogRecordFactory(factory)

Set a callable which is used to create a LogRecord.

Parameter:

factory -- The factory callable to be used to instantiate a log record.

Added in version 3.2: This function has been provided, along with getLogRecordFactory(), to allow developers more control over how the LogRecord representing a logging event is constructed.

The factory has the following signature:

factory(name, level, fn, lno, msg, args, exc_info, func=None, sinfo=None, **kwargs)

nama:

The logger name.

level:

The logging level (numeric).

fn:

The full pathname of the file where the logging call was made.

lno:

The line number in the file where the logging call was made.

msg:

The logging message.

args:

The arguments for the logging message.

exc_info:

An exception tuple, or None.

func:

The name of the function or method which invoked the logging call.

sinfo:

A stack traceback such as is provided by traceback.print_stack(), showing the call hierarchy.

kwargs:

Additional keyword arguments.

Module-Level Attributes

logging.lastResort

A "handler of last resort" is available through this attribute. This is a StreamHandler writing to sys.stderr with a level of WARNING, and is used to handle logging events in the absence of any logging configuration. The end result is to just print the message to sys.stderr. This replaces the earlier error message saying that "no handlers could be found for logger XYZ". If you need the earlier behaviour for some reason, lastResort can be set to None.

Added in version 3.2.

logging.raiseExceptions

Used to see if exceptions during handling should be propagated.

Default: True.

If raiseExceptions is False, exceptions get silently ignored. This is what is mostly wanted for a logging system - most users will not care about errors in the logging system, they are more interested in application errors.

Integration with the warnings module

The captureWarnings() function can be used to integrate logging with the warnings module.

logging.captureWarnings(capture)

This function is used to turn the capture of warnings by logging on and off.

If capture is True, warnings issued by the warnings module will be redirected to the logging system. Specifically, a warning will be formatted using warnings.formatwarning() and the resulting string logged to a logger named 'py.warnings' with a severity of WARNING.

If capture is False, the redirection of warnings to the logging system will stop, and warnings will be redirected to their original destinations (i.e. those in effect before captureWarnings(True) was called).
