Question

Is there some relatively simple way to programmatically include source code lines to python logger report. For example…

import logging

def main():
    something_is_not_right = True
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
                        format=('%(filename)s: '    
                                '%(levelname)s: '
                                '%(funcName)s(): '
                                '%(lineno)d:\t'
                                '%(message)s')
                        )

    if something_is_not_right == True:
        logging.debug('some way to get previous line of source code here?')

So that output would look like this.

example.py: DEBUG: main(): 14:       if something_is_not_right == True:

import inspect
import logging
import linecache

def main():
    something_is_not_right = True
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
                        format=('%(filename)s: '    
                                '%(levelname)s: '
                                '%(funcName)s(): '
                                '%(lineno)d:\t'
                                '%(message)s')
                        )

    if something_is_not_right:
        logging.debug(linecache.getline(
            __file__,
            inspect.getlineno(inspect.currentframe())-1))

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

yields

test.py: DEBUG: main(): 18:     if something_is_not_right == True:
