From Beginners to Pros: Python Logging Explained in Detail
Logging basics for Python beginners.
In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the Python logging module and how it can be used to track events in your code.
We’ll cover both the basic use case; logging messages to a file and more advanced topics like logging to multiple files, setting up loggers with different levels of detail, and using formatters to control how your logs are displayed.

The most basic use case for the logging module is to log messages to a file. To do this, we’ll need to create a logger and a handler.
The logger is responsible for tracking events that happen in your code, and the handler decides what to do with those events (in this case, we’ll just write them to a file).
First, let’s import the logging module:
```python
import logging
```Next, we’ll create a logger and a handler. We’ll also set a few basic configuration options — like the log level and the format of our logs — before we add the handler to the logger:
```python
logger = logging.getLogger(‘my_logger’)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)handler =…
