I have a logger instance I pass to functions.
def function(inp1, logger)
logger.info('important')
print('sessional')
Some not important info I do print, the other I log (to not oversize output file).
I want to change all "print" to "logger" that have a maximum file size in round robin - new msg will overwritten over the oldest one.
Can I do that on the same logger instance so I wont need to pass another instance? so one logger will always log and second logger will log round-robin.
You can attach more than one handler to a logger.
That means that you could attach to your logger:
FileHandler that will log event at or above the important level (say WARNING)RotatingFileHandler that will log all events (say at or above INFO or DEBUG)With such a config, the second handler would log all events also logged by the first one. If this is a problem, you could add a filter to that second one to reject events having a level at (or above) your important level.
From logging documentation: Multiple calls to getLogger() with the same name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.
So what you want to do in your script is just to call the getLogger() again with the same name.
#test script
import logging
url_info_logger = logging.getLogger('URL_Fetcher')
general_logger = logging.getLogger("GENERAL")
def function(inp1, logger)
url_info_logger.info('important')
general_logger.info('sessional')
It should return the same logging object, since it is already defined before you call it the second time.
