Hello everybody. Today I'd like to talk about everyone's favorite subsystem within Twisted: logging.
There are a number of problems with Twisted's logging system.
The general theme of these problems is that Twisted log system was designed with some intended use-cases in mind, but its implementation was stopped halfway through and none of those use-cases were really well satisfied.
At various conferences, and in person at various times, we've gotten together to express frustration at the logging system, but I don't think that the problems with it have ever been really thoroughly written down.
Wilfredo has been working on logging here: http://trac.calendarserver.org/browser/CalendarServer/trunk/twext/python/log.... This began as an attempt to just address some issues with our own logging wrappers, but has been growing into a design that is more fully capable of replacing logging within Twisted wholesale. I hope one of us can contribute it to Twisted soon, but in the meanwhile, please feel free to provide feedback - hopefully if some people can provide a bit of informal feedback now, the formal review process can be shorter and more pleasant :).
I like it. Let's merge it. -- Christopher Armstrong http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://planet-if.com/
