Welcome to a logging package project!

the logging package is a port of the ubiquitous log4j. it implements hierarchical logging, multiple handlers at a single logger, formattable log records...

What you find here behaves similarly to what you also find in Python's standard logging module.

Far from being comparable to a Python standard module, this tiny logging module does include

• hierarchic loggers,
• multiple handlers at each logger,
• the possibility to specify a formatter for each handler (one default formatter is given),
• same levels (names and numeric values) as Python's logging package,
• a simple basicConfig function to quickly put yourself in a usable situation...

have a look at a short introductory sample session.

or check a small collections of user hints.

This package owes a lot to

• my employers, who believe in open source,
• the stackoverflow community,
• Brian Lee Yung Rowe's futile package (v1.1),
• the r-forge people, "introduction to R", "writing R extensions", ...
• the documentation of the Python logging package.
