Logging Python

Question

What is the "name" function of the logging library for in python?

Answer 1

The logging library does not have a name() function.
You can check the documentation for reference.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html

Answer 2

It's to name your logger! You'll see this name appear in the logs.

In larger project, it's often useful to see where this log comes from.

You will often see this line:
log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Where __name__ correspond to the name of the current module.

I hope this helps :)
