Logging

Tweepy uses the :mod:logging standard library module.

The simplest way to set up logging is using :func:logging.basicConfig, e.g.::

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

This will output logging from Tweepy, as well as other libraries (like Tweepy's dependencies) that use the :mod:logging module, directly to the console.

The optional level argument can be any :ref:logging level <python:levels>.

To configure logging for Tweepy (or each individual library) specifically, you can use :func:logging.getLogger to retrieve the logger for the library. For example::

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger("tweepy")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename="tweepy.log")
logger.addHandler(handler)

More advanced configuration is possible with the :mod:logging module. For more information, see the :doc:logging module documentation <python:library/logging> and :doc:tutorials <python:howto/logging>.
