First, before I get farther,
Is there a way for the logging module to natively handle lists and
dict objects when logging?
e.g. take this {'key1':'val1','key2':'val2'} and have it logged like this:
INFO: key1: val1
INFO: key2: val2
If I pass the dict or list directly to the logger, it is logged the
same as if you simply did this:
mydict={1:1, 2:2}
mylist=[1,2,3]
print mydict
print mylist
>>> {1:1,2:2}
>>> [1,2,3]
It came up that I wanted to have logging present command line options
from optparse if the log level was set to debug... so they'd look
something like this in the output:
debug: True
sleep_time: 30
log_file: /tmp/testlog
So the options I've managed to work out are to either parse the list
or dict object item by item and feed those items one at a time into
the logger:
for i in mylist:
logging.info(i)
Or to extend the StreamHandler class to handle this by creating a new
report.msg...
Then the discussion came up: which is better? To parse a dictionary
or list in the main code and pass each item to the logger one at a
time, or to extend the logger to handle it natively?
Any thoughts on which is the more proper way to handle cases like this?
