As a novice, start with the simplest thing. Whenever the pump runs or stops, just call print: start(pump) print("Starting") ... stop(pump) print("Stopping") To log to a file instead, change the program to: import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log',level=logging.DEBUG) start(pump) logging.info("Starting") ... stop(pump) logging.info("Stopping") More information in the logging tutorial: https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
