Somehow, in 20 minutes, you covered way more than I even knew was possible and it all makes so much sense now! Thank you! PS: Still waiting on your C++ value category video 🤞

This breakdown on the logger is truly amazing. One comment regarding the queue handler implementation 18:11 . This implementation only works, as is, on Python 3.12 as prior versions don't have that available for dictConfig.
Thank you, and you are right. Users not yet on the current stable Python (3.12) may want to subclass QueueHandler, both to create the QueueListener as well as to start its thread automatically.
@@jrat104 you could do something like: ```python import logging.config import logging.handlers class BackportedQueueHandler(logging.handlers.QueueHandler): def __init__( self, handlers: logging.config.ConvertingList[str], queue=None, respect_handler_level: bool = False, ) -> None: if queue is None: import queue as q queue = q.Queue() assert isinstance(handlers, logging.config.ConvertingList) self.listener = logging.handlers.QueueListener( queue, # NOTE: `logging.config.ConvertingList` converts elements by # calling `convert_with_key` when accessed via `__getitem__` *[handlers[i] for i in range(len(handlers))], respect_handler_level=respect_handler_level, ) super().__init__(queue) ```
Wow... every python video from you is pure Gold. I'm only aware of one "recent" async video, but maybe you could do a more detailed video on async and await in python. I and certainly thousands of others would appreciate this. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for this tutorial. Nothing new for me, but finally a nice comprehensive and modern approach. I totally agree with the statement "the tutorials are from people that are not using it". Sadly that's true for many other tutorials.
This is a great deal better than other Python logging videos and tutorials that I have seen. They might cover the basics, but miss out pretty much entirely about information you need to know when you really want to get into logging with packages, subpackages, and user libraries, Thanks.
The reason I love this channel and learned a lot from it is, James is one of the few programming content creators that have experience. Him saying "You know what works best for you" is an ironclad example for that
As someone who owns a library, and rolled my own logger (in JavaScript), I appreciate the deep dive in proper logger design and methodology. I may not be able to use the examples here, but the lesson is well-received. As a self-taught developer, I missed a lot of the history in why things are written the way they are.
Great video on standard library logging, but one thing to add is that I can recommend using library called structlog (for structured logs as name suggests), which are very useful especially for bigger applications, where we want to aggregate, store, parse and analyze logs on the system level. Structured logs are way easier to parse, thus analyze, so I think it's nice to have this library in your Python dev toolkit.
As someone who’s been using print for logging, I will have to watch this a couple more times to fully understand everything 😅 First impressions is that this seems very useful, and that although comprehensive and complex to set up for the first time, some parts should be reusable. At least for smaller projects. Most of my projects are about 500 lines of code, so this would be a substantial portion of the work setting up the first time😅 Thank you for setting me on the path of proper logging 🎉
I appreciate that you emphasized that the built-in logging library is the standard. Since there are some other competitors out there, it can be a bit confusing trying to evaluate whether to use the built-in or not. Thank you.
Finally I understand Python logging. I really hope one day they actually create a better logging package. Every project needs logging and it should not be this difficult and outdated, especially when it comes to Python.
Have you seen the most popular packages on pypi? It is full of libraries built with bad decisions, bad API design, bad programming practices, bad documentation. And recently it has gotten even worse, because now all code is either type hinted or not, and is written for asyncio or not. And these new async packages are going through all the same problems that were solved decades ago for the older packages. It’s a huge mess.
This is an incredibly valuable information. Since this is only applicable for applications and not libraries, this is not openly discussed anywhere nor available on Github. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great condensed tutorial, respect! But, I do need to add that I don't really agree on the "one logger only" rule. In a lot of cases I have learned it's very valuable to seperate logging user activity from the technical logging. In a lot of applications you would want to log user activities for legal reasons and have the technical stuff for development reasons. I'm a big proponent of seperating the two. In most applications I've worked on we have a technical logger and an audit logger. They both log VERY different stuff and have different handlers and formatters. Technical stuff goes into files and sometimes email inboxes while the audit logs go into some elastic search cluster through a kafka bus just to make sure we have the persistence.
Very very good. The explanation of the mental model is Gold! Finally a video that makes it simpler by showing the whole picture and what to skip instead of just showing the bare minimum which would leave you too ignorant to see both the the forrest and the trees.
When I started working with the logging module it seemed difficult to understand. But actually, after 2-3 hours I admired how powerful yet simple it turns out to be. Really, you plug it in and it just works.
you really have great content, and the detail in which you go to explain a concept is really appreciation worthy. thanks for these videos, they are really informative and helpful
When I started with the current professional work, I looked into Python logging, found many people frustrated, and wrote the logger myself. Normally I am not a fan of the DIY mentality in software, but I think I saved time this way and have what I need.
I used a mix of print and logging in my application just to take quick look of what happened at a glance. Wasn't aware of json lines and queue handler. I had switched from standard json library to orjson to get considerable speedup when handling mixture of celery task uuid, objects, dates in different formats etc. Thanks for sharing
My team and I have recently been working with trying to get multiple loggers setup and deleting the old logs locally after some time. I'd say this is incredible timing but I'd be lying, having this massively useful video would have been even better last week! But still, thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
if you are experiencing an error of ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'file' when you added the file logger, ensure that you have have log folder in your current directory. Great video btw
This is very nice. Extremely useful for out-of-the-box best practices for Python logging. I personally use "pip install loguru" for any projects I set up for logging, since it handles a lot of things automatically and removes so much boiletplate.
Epic walkthrough. The standard logger has always been a bit of a black box and logs have always been a bit of an issue as my apps have grown. This is exactly what I needed.
Really great video, thank you! On 20:00, it's worth mentioning that the default behavior, if I'm not mistaken, is for debug/info logs to go to stderr as well which I've always found unintuitive.
Yeah, I've found that to be an unintuitive default as well. It goes against the principle of not using stderr as just an extra stream. It should really be just for errors as intended.
Thanks for the great explanation! However, it's not quite clear to me why you shouldn't use the root logger directly 6:49 when you're not using some sort of logger tree. Could anyone explain this?
Thx for a very good explanation of python logging. I've done this whole thing so many times at different companies, in different way. The queue handler was new to me however, I guess performance wasn't of that importance. One thing I would add is that while JSON format is great for programmatically parsing, I wouldn't say it's as human readable as colorized text. This is what I would use locally when developing and then use JSON when deployed.
Not me watching the video and configuring my library logging bit by bit and then seeing the note at the end for libraries LMAO. Oh well, time to delete all that code. Great video though, definitely will use these tips in my Python apps.
Great video, I've been using logging for a while, but I might tune my setup with what I learned just now! I agree that yaml is very error prone (look up "Norway problem"), but I've also come to the conclusion that JSON is good for data exchange, but not for config files. For config, I've started using TOML. The syntax is a mix of JSON and .ini, but it's far less error prone than yaml, it has trailing commas, comments and can be read and written programmatically without losing formatting. Like yaml, it wasn't included in the stdlib, but there is now an implementation in Python 3.11+
There's also JSON5 as an extension for human-writable JSON that allows such things as trailing commas in objects and lists, comments, single quote strings, hexadecimal numbers etc. For example, it's used for the configuration file of the Windows 11 terminal app. The JSON module in the Python library is only meant for serialization, however.
Great and concise content, did not know about dictconfig yet. Thanks! Around 08:40 you mention the weird format str syntax. As an alternative there is the style keyword which accepts "{", then the format str can be much more like fstrings.
I like to also set up probabilistic trace logging, where some (usually small) portion of the work is logged end to end, with the portion changeable at runtime. If something doesn't seem right, being able to trace 1 of 10000 events can be really handy. That takes a bit more setup in the code, but it's super useful.
Your video did set me on the right course for logging but it is far cleverer than what you showed,. PS I do watch your videos on most things as they are extremely helpful.
at the 10:48 mark I cannot get the system to write logs to file. I tried pulling the code from github but the main.py file is not versioned like the config files. I've got a few things to check, but when you are showing files in the video at 10:48 you don't show the bottom of them. I've found a message somewhere on the boards that indicates I may need to make sure I'm using the right logger or logging.
Dude... I've been using logger since.... _years_ , and I had no notion of dictConfig's existence! Fair enough, I'm a DevOps/SysOps guy, so I pretty much only use the same handlers, stdout, stderr, and systemd-journald, which makes things easy enough to knock out, but still. Thanks! 🙂
I've noticed something confusing in the final version, where the logged messages in the terminal have the correct value for time zones while the jsonl files have +00:00. Is this intended and something I misunderstand or is this an error. I've used the original source code only changing file names.
I remember having to explicitly murder a library's own logging config, because they were logging as plain text and we wanted everything as JSON. It was very annoying until I did some involved introspection on the logging system.
Great video, can you do a video on "try except" code blocks; I believe its blurry for a lot of people who aren't working in the industry as far as HOW to use it in your coding project. For example, do you apply it to all of your code logic ? or conservatively ? An in-depth explanation and examples when you're working in industry and you're writing code how exactly would you apply it?, whats your thinking framework with it ??? Thank you very much for the quality content.
one question i have is that if we want to create our own custom class with this setup is it possible? i tried using a custom class and call the `dictConfig` on `__init__` method, but doesn't seem to be working? any insight or suggestions?
Hi, what does override do at 16:33 ? from your code, you used "from typing import override". I would've assumed you were overriding the class method but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Yeah as many mentioned I just use loguru too. It makes it really simpler without all the boilerplate which I couldn't remember even after years of using logging
The most basic concepts of python logging module people don't understand is that configuration of logging itself must be done by the end user, not frameworks or libraries, all what they suppose to do is to import logging, get logger and do logging calls.
18:04 Leaving a note here that QueueHandler config is only available in Python 3.12, according to the logging.config docs
Jeans down, this is the best python logging explanation I've ever seen. Brilliant work.

I agree that yaml is very error prone (look up "Norway problem"), but I've also come to the conclusion that JSON is good for data exchange, but not for config files.
For config, I've started using TOML. The syntax is a mix of JSON and .ini, but it's far less error prone than yaml, it has trailing commas, comments and can be read and written programmatically without losing formatting.
Like yaml, it wasn't included in the stdlib, but there is now an implementation in Python 3.11+
There's also JSON5 as an extension for human-writable JSON that allows such things as trailing commas in objects and lists, comments, single quote strings, hexadecimal numbers etc. For example, it's used for the configuration file of the Windows 11 terminal app.
The JSON module in the Python library is only meant for serialization, however.
You had me cracking up. This is very relevant in what I’m working on right now. Gonna create a new boilerplate
Great and concise content, did not know about dictconfig yet. Thanks!
Around 08:40 you mention the weird format str syntax. As an alternative there is the style keyword which accepts "{", then the format str can be much more like fstrings.
Great tip! I do tend to stick to the json approach, though! 😉

one question i have is that if we want to create our own custom class with this setup is it possible? i tried using a custom class and call the `dictConfig` on `__init__` method, but doesn't seem to be working? any insight or suggestions?
Hi, what does override do at 16:33 ? from your code, you used "from typing import override". I would've assumed you were overriding the class method but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Yeah as many mentioned I just use loguru too. It makes it really simpler without all the boilerplate which I couldn't remember even after years of using logging
The most basic concepts of python logging module people don't understand is that configuration of logging itself must be done by the end user, not frameworks or libraries, all what they suppose to do is to import logging, get logger and do logging calls.
With atexit.register(queue_handler.listener.stop) my tests are stucked and can not run. Why?
