structlog

structlog is the production-ready logging solution for Python:

• Simple: Everything is about functions that take and return dictionaries – all hidden behind familiar APIs.
• Powerful: Functions and dictionaries aren’t just simple but also powerful. structlog leaves you in control.
• Fast: structlog is not hamstrung by designs of yore. Its flexibility comes not at the price of performance.

Thanks to its flexible design, you choose whether you want structlog to take care of the output of your log entries or whether you prefer to forward them to an existing logging system like the standard library's logging module.

The output format is just as flexible and structlog comes with support for JSON, logfmt, as well as pretty console output out-of-the-box:

structlog has been successfully used in production at every scale since 2013, while embracing cutting-edge technologies like asyncio, context variables, or type hints as they emerged. Its paradigms proved influential enough to help design structured logging packages across ecosystems.
