New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: warnings.warn() offers a stacklevel parameter to make it easier to write helper functions that generate warnings - by passing "stacklevel=2", you can ensure the warning is attributed to the caller of the helper function, rather than to the helper function itself.
There isn't currently a similarly clear way to write helper functions that emit logging messages - if the format includes "pathname", "filename", "module", "function", or "lineno", then those will always report the location of the helper function, rather than the caller of the helper function. It would be convenient if logging.debug() et al accepted a "stacklevel" parameter the same way the warnings module does (although this may require some adjustments to the Logger.findCaller method API) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 314578 nosy: ncoghlan, vinay.sajip priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add stacklevel parameter to logging APIs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
