Python GUI Programming Cookbook, Second Edition - Second Edition

How to do it...

First, we create a new Python module into which we place two new classes. The first class is very simple and defines the logging levels. This is basically an enumeration:

class LogLevel: '''Define logging levels.'''     OFF     = 0     MINIMUM = 1     NORMAL  = 2     DEBUG   = 3

The second class creates a log file by using the passed-in full path of the file name and places this into a logs folder. On the first run, the logs folder might not exist, so the code automatically creates the folder:

import os, timefrom datetime import datetimeclass Logger:        ''' Create a test log and write to it. '''          #-------------------------------------------------------     def __init__(self, fullTestName, loglevel=LogLevel.DEBUG):  testName = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(fullTestName))[0] ...
