Setting Up Logging
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Newer version of *discord.py* have the capability of logging certain events via the `logging`_ python module.
|
|
|
|
This is helpful if you want to see certain issues in *discord.py* or want to listen to events yourself.
|
|
|
|
Setting up logging is fairly simple: ::
|
|
|
|
import discord
|
|
import logging
|
|
|
|
logger = logging.getLogger('discord')
|
|
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
|
|
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='discord.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
|
|
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
|
|
logger.addHandler(handler)
|
|
|
|
This would create a logger that writes to a file called ``discord.log``. This is recommended as there are a lot of events
|
|
logged at a time and it would clog out the stdout of your program.
|
|
|
|
For more information, check the documentation and tutorial of the `logging`_ module.
