"""Example for writing logging information to the console and a log file. Example Usage: ``$ python logging_example.py`` References: * https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html * https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html Logging configuration ===================== This function shows an example of creating a logging instance that writes messages to both STDERR and a file, allowing your script to write content to STDOUT uninterrupted. Additionally, you can set different logging levels for the two handlers - generally you keep debugging information in the log file while writing more critical messages to the console in STDERR. .. literalinclude:: ../sections/section_01/logging_example.py :pyobject: setup_logging Docstring References ==================== """ import logging import sys """ Copyright 2019 Chapin Bryce Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
