Python has built in log in
0:01
and you can do log in without
0:03
any external dependencies.
0:05
But I would like to introduce you to
0:07
this concept to this package logbook.
0:10
Now this as you can see here replaces
0:13
python's standard library for logging
0:16
and it does so in a way that makes it really easy
0:19
to work with logs in our application
0:21
but also super flexible.
0:23
So for example, we can come over here
0:25
and import the logger and we can just say
0:27
"I would just like to push all
0:28
the log messages to standard out",
0:30
could be a file also for example,
0:33
now we'll create a logbook
0:34
and then we just log.info,
0:35
log.trace,
0:36
log.error,
0:38
we sort of categorize the response,
0:41
the message we'll send that way
0:42
and you get something like,
0:43
well see below but also what you see in stock python.
0:47
Why not just use the built in one?
0:49
Well, this is nice and clean and
0:50
it creates a nice hierarchy,
0:52
really really cool for when you use it your application.
0:54
But also it's way more flexible,
0:57
look at this,
0:58
how about getting a notification to your phone
1:00
or pushing notifications or something like that
1:02
under certain log message situations.
1:04
Really cool.
1:05
So we'll see the logbook is really powerful
1:09
and it's actually created by Armin Ronacher
1:11
who is the creator of Flask,
1:13
one of the most popular and well liked
1:16
Python web frameworks out there.
