an example showing some of the basic concepts in logging in python

logging_example.py

import logging

# Create a formatter
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')

# Create a file handler and set the formatter
file_handler = logging.FileHandler('example.log')
file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

# Create a logger and add the file handler
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.addHandler(file_handler)

# Set the logging level to INFO
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Log some messages with different levels
logger.debug('Debug message')
logger.info('Info message')
logger.warning('Warning message')
logger.error('Error message')
logger.critical('Critical message')
