MailingLogger documentation

This package provides more flexible and powerful email log handling for python’s standard logging framework.

Two log handlers are provided:

MailingLogger

This mails out appropriate log entries as they are emitted.

SummarisingLogger

This mails out a summary of all appropriate log entries at the end of the running python script.

Warning

The only caveat for using this package is that the SMTP server you are using must be fast. Email is sent via SMTP and, if using a MailingLogger, at the time the message is logged. If your SMTP server is slow, your application’s performance may suffer.

Additional support is provided if your application uses one of the following frameworks:

• ZConfig
• Zope 2 and Plone

Code that enables easier use of this package with other frameworks is welcome and will be included in a future release!
