glog

0.3.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python maintenance

glog is a simple Google-style logging wrapper for Python, inspired by the C++ Google logging library. Version 0.3.1 is the latest on PyPI, though the project is in maintenance mode with no active development.

pip install glog

Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'glog' has no attribute 'set_level' ↓

cause glog does not expose a set_level function; levels are set via environment variable GLOG_minloglevel or flags.

fix

Set the environment variable GLOG_minloglevel (e.g., export GLOG_minloglevel=1) or use glog's internal logging level control.

error ImportError: No module named glog ↓

cause glog is not installed or the package name is confused with google-glog (C++).

fix

Install with 'pip install glog'. Note: this is a Python-only package, not the C++ Google logging library.

error TypeError: log() missing 1 required positional argument: 'msg' ↓

cause Calling glog.log() incorrectly; glog.log() requires at least a message argument.

fix

Use glog.info('message'), glog.warning('message'), etc., instead of glog.log().

Warnings

deprecated glog uses `glog.warn()` which is deprecated; use `glog.warning()` as per Python logging conventions. ↓

fix Replace `glog.warn(...)` with `glog.warning(...)`.

gotcha glog outputs to stderr by default, not stdout. This can confuse users expecting console output. ↓

fix Redirect stderr if needed, or configure logging to output elsewhere.

gotcha glog uses its own formatting and does not respect Python's standard logging configuration. Changes via `logging.basicConfig` have no effect. ↓

fix Use glog's internal configuration or consider another library if you need standard logging integration.

Imports

glog
```
import glog

Quickstart

Basic usage showing log levels and exception logging.

import glog

if __name__ == '__main__':
    glog.info('This is an informational message')
    glog.warn('This is a warning')
    glog.error('This is an error')
    try:
        1/0
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        glog.exception('Caught an exception')
