Here is a *completely untested off-the-top-of-my-head* rewrite for
logging.addLevelName() that does this for you and saves having to repeat
the function definitions. Maybe this could be used to create the
standard logging functions too!
def addLevelName(level, levelName):
"""
Associate 'levelName' with 'level'.
This is used when converting levels to text during message formatting.
"""
import logging
_acquireLock()
try: #unlikely to cause an exception, but you never know...
_levelNames[level] = levelName
_levelNames[levelName] = level
lowerName = levelName.lower()
# define a new Logger function for the new level
# this is like existing info, critical, debug...etc
def Logger_func(self, msg, *args, **kwargs):
if self.manager.disable >= level:
return
if level >= self.getEffectiveLevel():
self._log(level, msg, args, **kwargs)
# Add the new function to the Logger class
setattr(logging.Logger, lowerName, Logger_func)
# define a new root level logging function
# this is like existing info, critical, debug...etc
def root_func(msg, *args, **kwargs):
if len(root.handlers) == 0:
basicConfig()
Logger_func(root, (msg,)+args, kwargs)
# make the root level function known
setattr(logging, lowerName, root_func)
finally:
_releaseLock()
