Q: what about logging? A: let's.

... give it a try, that is. the mission: create some laughably simple logging interface that can be configured from a single point.

We should consider a proper setup for logging, because it seems practical: stuff on python.org.

I'm not saying we should go wild with loggers, but it seems flexible and configurable for little effort, and we could get rid of if debug: print('juchhe!'). The sooner we do this, the better. Thoughts?

it should be uber simple to use. I guess it's reinventing the wheel for the 1000th time.

something like:

import logging as log
#set log level
log.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
#set shortcuts
log.d = log.debug
log.e = log.error

log.d('this is a debug message and goes to std-err')
log.e('this is an error message')

i just know myself. If the logging takes more letters than print then i'll problably not use it...

[tilboerner]

python seems to have decent logging support. it should be possible to wrap it in some extremely (re)usable interface of our making. i'll figure something out.

already in 0.2

... interface that can be configured from a single point.

there's more to do, i'd say.

[tilboerner]

so, yeah, i'd like to take that back. a field test shows that everything is very configurable.
