Python Logging

Logging is an essential part of any program to track its execution, report errors, and store other relevant information. The logging module is used to log messages.

Basic Logging

You can log messages using different levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL.

      
        import logging

        logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
        logging.debug("This is a debug message")
        logging.info("This is an info message")
        logging.warning("This is a warning message")
        logging.error("This is an error message")
        logging.critical("This is a critical message")
      
    

This code sets up logging and logs messages of various severity levels.

Logging to a File

You can also log messages to a file:

      
        logging.basicConfig(filename='app.log', level=logging.DEBUG)
        logging.info("Logging to a file now.")
      
    

By setting filename, the log messages will be written to a file instead of the console.
