The youtubedl logger class

Question

I am very confused about how youtube-dl's logger class works in python and how it can be used to aid in debugging, raising warnings and error messages. Here's my following attempt at creating a logger class:

 class BuiltInLogger:

    @staticmethod
    def debug(msg):
        print(msg)

    @staticmethod
    def warning(msg):
        print(msg)

    @staticmethod
    def error(msg):
        print(msg)

I did it this way because I assume that youtube-dl creates an instance of the class whenever needed and prints out a specific message according to what error may have occurred. Please let me know if this is a good implementation of the logger class or what I can do to improve it, thanks!

Answer 1

I would suggest as rewriting class as follow:

class BuiltInLogger:

    # or maybe:
    #   debug = warning = error = print
    debug = print
    warning = print
    error = print

Usage:

>>> BuiltInLogger.debug('hey', 'whats up')
hey whats up

Example with logging module

import logging


# set minimum level you want be printed
logging.basicConfig(level='DEBUG')

BuiltInLogger = logging.getLogger('some-module')
# (optional) set minimum level for logger only
BuiltInLogger.setLevel('DEBUG')

BuiltInLogger.debug('hey %s', 'whats up')
# DEBUG:some-module:hey whats up
