A Logger emits log messages to an observer. You should instantiate it as a class or module attribute, as documented in this module's documentation.

Method __init__ No summary
Method __get__

When used as a descriptor, i.e.:


Method __repr__ Undocumented
Method emit Emit a log event to all log observers at the given level.
Method failure Log an failure and emit a traceback.
Method debug Emit a log event at log level LogLevel.debug.
Method info Emit a log event at log level LogLevel.info.
Method warn Emit a log event at log level LogLevel.warn.
Method error Emit a log event at log level LogLevel.error.
Method critical Emit a log event at log level LogLevel.critical.
Static Method _namespaceFromCallingContext Derive a namespace from the module containing the caller's caller.
@staticmethod
def _namespaceFromCallingContext(): (source)

Derive a namespace from the module containing the caller's caller.

Returnsthe fully qualified python name of a module. (type: str (native string))
def __init__(self, namespace=None, source=None, observer=None): (source)
ParametersnamespaceThe namespace for this logger. Uses a dotted notation, as used by python modules. If not None, then the name of the module of the caller is used. (type: str (native string))
sourceThe object which is emitting events via this logger; this is automatically set on instances of a class if this Logger is an attribute of that class. (type: object)
observerThe observer that this logger will send events to. If None, use the global log publisher. (type: ILogObserver)
def __get__(self, oself, type=None): (source)

When used as a descriptor, i.e.:

   # File: athing.py
   class Something(object):
       log = Logger()
       def hello(self):
           self.log.info("Hello")

a Logger's namespace will be set to the name of the class it is declared on. In the above example, the namespace would be athing.Something.

Additionally, its source will be set to the actual object referring to the Logger. In the above example, Something.log.source would be Something, and Something().log.source would be an instance of Something.

def __repr__(self): (source)
Undocumented
def emit(self, level, format=None, **kwargs): (source)

Emit a log event to all log observers at the given level.

Parameterslevela LogLevel
formata message format using new-style (PEP 3101) formatting. The logging event (which is a dict) is used to render this format string.
kwargsadditional key/value pairs to include in the event. Note that values which are later mutated may result in non-deterministic behavior from observers that schedule work for later execution.
def failure(self, format, failure=None, level=LogLevel.critical, **kwargs): (source)

Log an failure and emit a traceback.

For example:

   try:
       frob(knob)
   except Exception:
       log.failure("While frobbing {knob}", knob=knob)

or:

   d = deferredFrob(knob)
   d.addErrback(lambda f: log.failure, "While frobbing {knob}",
                f, knob=knob)

This method is generally meant to capture unexpected exceptions in code; an exception that is caught and handled somehow should be logged, if appropriate, via Logger.error instead. If some unknown exception occurs and your code doesn't know how to handle it, as in the above example, then this method provides a means to describe the failure in nerd-speak. This is done at LogLevel.critical by default, since no corrective guidance can be offered to an user/administrator, and the impact of the condition is unknown.
