class DictFormater(fmt=None, datefmt=None, style='%', validate=True, *, defaults=None)

Bases: logging.Formatter

Formatter instances are used to convert a LogRecord to text.

Formatters need to know how a LogRecord is constructed. They are responsible for converting a LogRecord to (usually) a string which can be interpreted by either a human or an external system. The base Formatter allows a formatting string to be specified. If none is supplied, the style-dependent default value, “%(message)s”, “{message}”, or “${message}”, is used.

The Formatter can be initialized with a format string which makes use of knowledge of the LogRecord attributes - e.g. the default value mentioned above makes use of the fact that the user’s message and arguments are pre- formatted into a LogRecord’s message attribute. Currently, the useful attributes in a LogRecord are described by:

%(name)s Name of the logger (logging channel) %(levelno)s Numeric logging level for the message (DEBUG, INFO,

WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)

%(levelname)s Text logging level for the message (“DEBUG”, “INFO”,

“WARNING”, “ERROR”, “CRITICAL”)

%(pathname)s Full pathname of the source file where the logging

call was issued (if available)

%(filename)s Filename portion of pathname %(module)s Module (name portion of filename) %(lineno)d Source line number where the logging call was issued

(if available)

%(funcName)s Function name %(created)f Time when the LogRecord was created (time.time()

return value)

%(asctime)s Textual time when the LogRecord was created %(msecs)d Millisecond portion of the creation time %(relativeCreated)d Time in milliseconds when the LogRecord was created,

relative to the time the logging module was loaded (typically at application startup time)

%(thread)d Thread ID (if available) %(threadName)s Thread name (if available) %(process)d Process ID (if available) %(message)s The result of record.getMessage(), computed just as

the record is emitted

Initialize the formatter with specified format strings.

Initialize the formatter either with the specified format string, or a default as described above. Allow for specialized date formatting with the optional datefmt argument. If datefmt is omitted, you get an ISO8601-like (or RFC 3339-like) format.

Use a style parameter of ‘%’, ‘{’ or ‘$’ to specify that you want to use one of %-formatting, str.format() ({}) formatting or string.Template formatting in your format string.

Changed in version 3.2: Added the style parameter.

format(record)

Format the specified record as text.

The record’s attribute dictionary is used as the operand to a string formatting operation which yields the returned string. Before formatting the dictionary, a couple of preparatory steps are carried out. The message attribute of the record is computed using LogRecord.getMessage(). If the formatting string uses the time (as determined by a call to usesTime(), formatTime() is called to format the event time. If there is exception information, it is formatted using formatException() and appended to the message.
