printlogr

PrintLogr

A Python library for logging messages with timestamps in various formats (TXT, CSV, PDF).

Features

• Simple logging with timestamps using plog() method
• Multiple export formats (TXT, CSV, PDF)
• Context manager support
• Clean and organized log format

Installation

pip install printlogr

Usage

Basic Usage

from printlogr import PrintLogger

# Create a logger instance
logger = PrintLogger()

# Log messages - they will be displayed and logged
logger.plog("Hello, World!")
logger.plog("This is a test message")

# Save logs to a file
logger.save_logs()  # Saves as TXT by default

Using Different Export Formats

from printlogr import PrintLogger

logger = PrintLogger()

logger.plog("First message")
logger.plog("Second message")

# Save as different formats
logger.save_logs(format="txt", output_file="output.txt")
logger.save_logs(format="csv", output_file="output.csv")
logger.save_logs(format="pdf", output_file="output.pdf")

Using as Context Manager

from printlogr import PrintLogger

with PrintLogger() as logger:
    logger.plog("This message will be logged")
    logger.plog("And this one too")
    # Logs are automatically saved when the context manager exits

Advanced Usage

from printlogr import PrintLogger

logger = PrintLogger()

# plog works like print - supports multiple arguments
logger.plog("Value:", 42, "Status:", True)

# Supports sep and end parameters like print
logger.plog("Hello", "World", sep="-", end="!\n")

# Get logs programmatically
logs = logger.get_logs()  # Returns list of (timestamp, message) tuples

# Get logs as formatted string
log_string = logger.display_logs()
print(log_string)

# Clear logs if needed
logger.clear_logs()

Output Formats

[2024-03-14 10:30:45] Hello, World!
