python logging

[Diez B. Roggisch]

Hi,

I want to introduce cmd-line dependend verbosity into my app. What do you
recommend? In java, I'd use log4j, and I know that there is a log4py
module. I can use that, but is there some sort of standard?

Regards,

Diez

Now there is a standard:

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.2/lib/module-logging.html

A small excerpt:

6.28 logging -- Logging facility for Python

New in version 2.3. This module defines functions and classes which
implement a flexible error logging system for applications.

Indeed there is a standard: the "logging" module was introduced in
python 2.3.

You'll probably be happy to know that it borrows heavily from log4j.
