Writing to Console on mac OS X
I'm on mac os x 10.4.11 running python 2.5.2, and Django 1.0, but this is a python question. When doing django/mod_python stuff, I can write to the Apache error_log file with sys.stderr.write(SOMETHING I WANT TO KNOW) which had me wondering if there's not a means for a misc. python program to write to the Mac OS X console? That would be much nicer than having to open up the error log and inspect stuff, as then I could see debug info stream past on a console window. (This is console, as in the console run from /Applications/Utilities, not the bash Terminal) Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thx. Ross. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yeah, use the syslog facility, for instance: import syslog syslog.openlog(django) syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_ALERT, Here is my syslog alert message) It seems that anything below alert level isn't shown in the console. I don't how to change this. You might want to consider using the Python logging module instead? --irmen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Writing to Console on mac OS X
Thanks for the pointer Irmen. That works fine. Also my unfamiliarity with the console app is showing - I just learned that there is a navigation pane activated by the 'logs' icon that allows me to see various system logs, including the Apache ones :p You're right, I've heard a bit about the Python logging module, but never looked into it. This is a good reason to take a look. Thanks again Regards, Ross. Irmen de Jong wrote: RGK wrote: I'm on mac os x 10.4.11 running python 2.5.2, and Django 1.0, but this is a python question.
