New submission from Stéphane Blondon <stephane.blon...@gmail.com>:
Currently, logging.root.manager.loggerDict is usable to do a homemade traversal
of the loggers tree. However, it's not a public interface. Adding a
'logger.getChildren()' method would help to implement the traversal. The method
would return a set of loggers.
Usage example:
>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(level=logging.CRITICAL)
>>> root_logger = logging.getLogger()
<RootLogger root (CRITICAL)>
>>> root_logger.getChildren()
set()
>>> a_logger = logging.getLogger("a")
>>> root_logger.getChildren()
{<Logger a. (CRITICAL)>}
>>> logging.getLogger('a.b').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
>>> _ = logging.getLogger('a.c')
>>> a_logger.getChildren()
{<Logger a.c (CRITICAL)>, <Logger a.b (DEBUG)>}
With such method, traverse the tree will be obvious to write with a recursive
function.
Use cases:
- to check all the loggers are setted up correctly. I wrote a small function
to get all loggers, and log on every level to check the real behaviour.
- to draw the loggers tree like logging_tree library
(https://pypi.org/project/logging_tree/). I didn't ask to logging_tree's
maintainer but I don't think he would use such function because the library
works for huge range of python releases.
I plan to write a PR if someone thinks it's a good idea.
