Logging

Python is a popular language for a variety of tasks, including building complex programs. One of the challenges of working on such projects is keeping track of what's happening in the code. This is where the Python logging module comes in handy.

What is the logging module?

Python's logging module is a built-in module that provides a way to define a set of loggers for your application, which can be used to record events that occur during execution. This can be especially useful for debugging and troubleshooting.

The logging module is designed to be thread-safe and can be used in multi-threaded applications without any issues. The module provides a way to configure how log messages are handled, which makes it very flexible and powerful.

How to use the logging module

To use the logging module, you first need to import it into your code:

import logging

Once you have imported the module, you can create a logger object:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
