Hello mod_python developers.
I just joined this list (at the suggestion of Graham Dumpleton) to try
and get you guys to consider adding some glue to connect python >2.2
logging to Apache's logging.
This means adding a small extra source file to the mod_python
codebase. Here's my example:
# A log handler for mod-python
import logging
from mod_python import apache
class ProxyLogThing:
"""A proxy for default Apache logging."""
def __init__(self):
# No need to do anything.
pass
def log_error(msg, lvl):
apache.log_error(msg, lvl)
class ApacheLogHandler(logging.Handler):
"""A handler class which sends all logging to Apache."""
def __init__(self, ref = None):
"""
Initialize the handler (does nothing)
"""
logging.Handler.__init__(self)
if ref == None:
self.ref = ProxyLogThing()
else:
self.ref = ref
# Set up the thing
self.level_mapping = { }
# self.level_mapping[logging.CRITICAL] = apache.APLOG_ERR
self.level_mapping[logging.ERROR] = apache.APLOG_ERR
self.level_mapping[logging.WARNING] = apache.APLOG_WARNING
self.level_mapping[logging.INFO] = apache.APLOG_INFO
self.level_mapping[logging.debug] = apache.APLOG_DEBUG
def emit(self, record):
"""Emit a record."""
self.ref.log_error(record.msg, record.levelno)
# End
As far as I can see there is no reason not to do this: it does not
create a dependency problem for anyone not using a Python without
logging; it's use is purely optional.
A very good reason for doing it is that it reduces dependancies for
anyone wanting to do this (and it's a very obvious thing to want to do
in any mod_python code).
I wonder what you all think about this?
BTW I'd be happy to maintain and support this if you agreed to include
it.
