Initialization

minilog defaults to INFO level using a simple log format. It supports the same initialization arguments as logging.basicConfig.

To set the format for all logging handlers:

log.init(format="%(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s")

To set the level for the root logging handler:

log.init(format=…, level=log.WARNING)

Debug Option

To simply enable debug-level logging, a convenience option is provided:

log.init(format=…, debug=True)

Verbosity Option

To work with frameworks that provide a verbosity level in their CLI frameworks (such as Django), that can be used instead:

log.init(format=…, verbosity=verbosity)

Silencing Loggers

To hide logging for specific named loggers:

log.silence('selenium')
log.silence('werkzeug', 'requests', allow_warning=True)

Reset Loggers

Finally, if another package has already set the logging format or level, that can be reset so that minilog takes over:

log.reset()
log.init(…)

Records

In addition to the standard LogRecord attributes, the following additional patterns are available:
