Welcome to Python Log Indenter documentation

This module helps by allowing you to indent the lines in your log entries to make it easier to read when you are dealing with complex loops and calls (especially with debug level logging)

This subclasses a standard logging.LoggerAdapter and allows you to control the indent level of your message.

Contents:

• Installation and initial setup
• Basic usage
  • Loading
  • Changing the indent level
• Advanced usage
  • Push / Pop
  • Memories
  • Formatting
  • Shortcuts
  • Changing indent size and indent character
• IndentedLoggerAdapter API

This will allow you to turn logs that would normally look like this:

root    DEBUG   Loading system
root    DEBUG   Checking for the right record
root    DEBUG   Checking record 1
root    DEBUG   Checking name
root    DEBUG   Not the right record
root    DEBUG   Checking record 2
root    DEBUG   checking name
root    DEBUG   Name checks, checking phone number
root    DEBUG   Phone number checks, VALID record!
root    DEBUG   Returning record 2

Into something like this:

root    DEBUG   Loading system
root    DEBUG       Checking for the right record
root    DEBUG           Checking record 1
root    DEBUG               Checking name
root    DEBUG                   Not the right record
root    DEBUG           Checking record 2
root    DEBUG               checking name
root    DEBUG                   Name checks, checking phone number
root    DEBUG               Phone number checks, VALID record!
root    DEBUG           Returning record 2
