[Tutor] logging question

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Maybe something like this? I don't know what data type 'book' is, 
and what Exception would be raised in case someting goes wrong.import logging
logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log',level=logging.ERROR)
for book in results: 
  try:
    result = process(book)
    logging.info('Everything fine with this book')
  except SomeException:
    logging.error('Something wrong with this book')

 
 
logging.debug('This message should go to the log file') logging.info('So should this') logging.warning('And this, too') 


Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
