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.

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.
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?
