This project is about creating a custom logger with a few arguments such as logger name and file path (if FileHandler is used).

In the python projects I have worked with (work or personal projects), I have always had to create a logging instance with a FileHandler, provide a logging format, provide logging file name (and create directories if need be), which is extremely frustrating, at the least. So I decided to encapsulate the pain points regarding the aforementioned.

1. Package import

   from lumberjack import Lumberjack
   
   # outputs logs in the console.
   logger = Lumberjack(name="lumberjack")
   
   # outputs logs in the filename 'logs/lumberjack_<timestamp>.log'
   logger = Lumberjack(name="lumberjack", file_name="logs/lumberjack.log")
   

2. Using .info(...)

   logger.info('Live long and prosper, hoomans')
   
   # Log info output
   2017-02-23 20:31:41,932 - lumberjack - INFO - Live long and prosper, hoomans!
   

3. Using .debug(...)

   logger.debug('NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!')
   
   # Log debug output
   2017-02-24 04:08:11,265 - lumberjack - DEBUG - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
   

4. Using .log(...)

   logger.log(50, 'This is DEFCON level 50')
   
   # Log output
   2017-02-24 04:33:22,869 - lumberjack - CRITICAL - This is DEFCON level 50
   
   logger.log(500, 'Deez notes were demonetized in India')
   
   # Log output
   2017-02-24 04:33:48,558 - lumberjack - Level 500 - Deez notes were demonetized in India
   
   logger.log('This is DEFCON level 999?')
   
   # Log output
   2017-02-24 04:33:13,615 - lumberjack - Level 999 - This is DEFCON level 999?
   

Sure! Create an issue in the repo if it's not already present. Then fork this repo, branch off from master, add a feature / push a fix and raise a pull-request. I'll merge it once I deem it useful.
