Difference between logger and print

#1

What is the difference between the logger object and the print object?

hey @Mohit2000 ,
Both are used for somewhat same purpose but are a bit different from each other.
The logging package has a lot of useful features:

  • Easy to see where and when (even what line no.) a logging call is being made from.
  • You can log to files, sockets, pretty much anything, all at the same time.
  • You can differentiate your logging based on severity.

Print doesn’t have any of these.

And while working on different threads , print statement can’t differentiate between threads , but logger can.

I hope this helps you :slightly_smiling_face:.

Why second parameter is passed as level=logging.INFO while defining config for the logging

#4

hey @Mohit2000 ,
it means in which manner we want our logging output to be.
Similar like we have an error message , info message , simple message ,a warning etc.
Its just one of those kinds.

#5

So, we are specifying it when defining logging? So when we write logger.error, how things are working. Please explain a bit more.

I didn’t understand that, can you please provide a screenshot relating the same.
