Create a Log File in Python Using Logging Library Example

The following Python program will create a log named application.log and will write the error information of an unsuccessful installation of HMS ERP application.

import logging

def main():
    logging.basicConfig(
        filename='application.log',
        level=logging.ERROR
    )

    appname = 'HMS ERP'
    appmodule = 'IPD'
    filename = 'ipdform.fmb'
    mode = 'r'

    logging.critical('Application %s failed', appname)
    logging.error("Couldn't find module %r", appmodule)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output:

application.log

CRITICAL:root:Application HMS ERP failed
ERROR:root:Couldn't find module 'IPD'
