arglog

Add logging options to argparse automatically

Demo

# main.py
import argparse
import logging
import arglog

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    arglog.patch(parser)
    args = parser.parse_args()

This will trigger the same effect as running:

logging.basicConfig(level='<level name>')

However, you now also have a new CLI option for your program:

$ python main.py --loglevel=WARNING

All of the logging levels are supported, INFO, DEBUG and so on.
