Most logging systems can tell you what happened; Eliot tells you _why_ it happened:
$ python linkcheck.py | eliot-tree 4c42a789-76f5-4f0b-b154-3dd0e3041445 +-- check_links@1/started `-- urls: [u'http://google.com', u'http://nosuchurl'] +-- download@2,1/started `-- url: http://google.com +-- download@2,2/succeeded +-- download@3,1/started `-- url: http://nosuchurl +-- download@3,2/failed |-- exception: requests.exceptions.ConnectionError |-- reason: ('Conn aborted', gaierror(-2, 'Name unknown')) +-- check_links@4/failed |-- exception: exceptions.ValueError |-- reason: ('Conn aborted.', gaierror(-2, 'Name unknown')) And here's the code that generated these logs (eliot-tree [1] was used to render the output): import sys from eliot import start_action, to_file import requests to_file(sys.stdout) def check_links(urls): with start_action(action_type="check_links", urls=urls): for url in urls: try: with start_action(action_type="download", url=url): response = requests.get(url) response.raise_for_status() except Exception as e: raise ValueError(str(e)) check_links(["http://google.com";], ["http://nosuchurl";]) Interested?
