A simple IPython logger application

Authors:

- MinRK

## `IPLoggerApp`

class `IPython.parallel.apps.iploggerapp.``IPLoggerApp`(**kwargs)

  Bases: `IPython.parallel.apps.baseapp.BaseParallelApplication`

  `__init__`(**kwargs)
  `aliases`

    An instance of a Python dict.

  `auto_create`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  `builtin_profile_dir`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `check_pid`(pid)
  classmethod `class_config_section`()

    Get the config class config section

  classmethod `class_get_help`()

    Get the help string for this class in ReST format.

  classmethod `class_get_trait_help`(trait)

    Get the help string for a single trait.

  classmethod `class_print_help`()

    Get the help string for a single trait and print it.

  classmethod `class_trait_names`(**metadata)

    Get a list of all the names of this classes traits.

    This method is just like the `trait_names()` method, but is unbound.

  classmethod `class_traits`(**metadata)

    Get a list of all the traits of this class.

    This method is just like the `traits()` method, but is unbound.

    The TraitTypes returned don’t know anything about the values that the various HasTrait’s instances are holding.

    This follows the same algorithm as traits does and does not allow for any simple way of specifying merely that a metadata name exists, but has any value. This is because get_metadata returns None if a metadata key doesn’t exist.

  `classes` = [<class 'IPython.parallel.apps.logwatcher.LogWatcher'>, <class 'IPython.core.profiledir.ProfileDir'>]
  `clean_logs`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  classmethod `clear_instance`()

    unset _instance for this class and singleton parents.

  `config`

    A trait whose value must be an instance of a specified class.

    The value can also be an instance of a subclass of the specified class.

  `config_file_name`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `config_file_paths`

    An instance of a Python list.

  `config_file_specified`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  `config_files`

    An instance of a Python list.

  `copy_config_files`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  `crash_handler_class`

    alias of `ParallelCrashHandler`

  `created` = None
  `description` = 'Start an IPython logger for parallel computing.\n\nIPython controllers and engines (and your own processes) can broadcast log messages\nby registering a `zmq.log.handlers.PUBHandler` with the `logging` module. The\nlogger can be configured using command line options or using a cluster\ndirectory. Cluster directories contain config, log and security files and are\nusually located in your ipython directory and named as "profile_name".\nSee the `profile` and `profile-dir` options for details.\n'

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `exit`(exit_status=0)
  `extra_args`

    An instance of a Python dict.

  `generate_config_file`()

  `get_pid_from_file`()

    Get the pid from the pid file.

    If the pid file doesn’t exist a `PIDFileError` is raised.

  `init_config_files`()

    [optionally] copy default config files into profile dir.

  `init_crash_handler`()

    Create a crash handler, typically setting sys.excepthook to it.

  `init_logging`()

    Start logging for this application.

    The default is to log to stdout using a StreaHandler. The log level starts at loggin.WARN, but this can be adjusted by setting the `log_level` attribute.

  `init_profile_dir`()

    initialize the profile dir

  `init_watcher`()
  `initialize`(argv=None)
  `initialize_subcommand`(subc, argv=None)

    Initialize a subcommand with argv.

  classmethod `initialized`()

    Has an instance been created?

  classmethod `instance`(*args, **kwargs)

    Returns a global instance of this class.

    This method create a new instance if none have previously been created and returns a previously created instance is one already exists.

    The arguments and keyword arguments passed to this method are passed on to the `__init__()` method of the class upon instantiation.

    Examples

    Create a singleton class using instance, and retrieve it:

        >>> from IPython.config.configurable import SingletonConfigurable
        >>> class Foo(SingletonConfigurable): pass
        >>> foo = Foo.instance()
        >>> foo == Foo.instance()
        True

    Create a subclass that is retrived using the base class instance:

        >>> class Bar(SingletonConfigurable): pass
        >>> class Bam(Bar): pass
        >>> bam = Bam.instance()
        >>> bam == Bar.instance()
        True

  `ipython_dir`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `keyvalue_description`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `load_config_file`(suppress_errors=True)

    Load the config file.

    By default, errors in loading config are handled, and a warning printed on screen. For testing, the suppress_errors option is set to False, so errors will make tests fail.

  `log_level`

    An enum that whose value must be in a given sequence.

  `log_to_file`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  `log_url`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `loop`

    A trait whose value must be an instance of a specified class.

    The value can also be an instance of a subclass of the specified class.

  `name` = u'iplogger'
  `on_trait_change`(handler, name=None, remove=False)

    Setup a handler to be called when a trait changes.

    This is used to setup dynamic notifications of trait changes.

    Static handlers can be created by creating methods on a HasTraits subclass with the naming convention ‘_[traitname]_changed’. Thus, to create static handler for the trait ‘a’, create the method _a_changed(self, name, old, new) (fewer arguments can be used, see below).

    Parameters : | handler : callable A callable that is called when a trait changes. Its signature can be handler(), handler(name), handler(name, new) or handler(name, old, new). name : list, str, None If None, the handler will apply to all traits. If a list of str, handler will apply to all names in the list. If a str, the handler will apply just to that name. remove : bool If False (the default), then install the handler. If True then unintall it.

  `option_description`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `overwrite`

    A boolean (True, False) trait.

  `parse_command_line`(argv=None)

    Parse the command line arguments.

  `print_alias_help`()

    Print the alias part of the help.

  `print_description`()

    Print the application description.

  `print_examples`()

    Print usage and examples.

    This usage string goes at the end of the command line help string and should contain examples of the application’s usage.

  `print_flag_help`()

    Print the flag part of the help.

  `print_help`(classes=False)

    Print the help for each Configurable class in self.classes.

    If classes=False (the default), only flags and aliases are printed.

  `print_options`()
  `print_subcommands`()

    Print the subcommand part of the help.

  `print_version`()

    Print the version string.

  `profile`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `reinit_logging`()
  `remove_pid_file`()

    Remove the pid file.

    This should be called at shutdown by registering a callback with `reactor.addSystemEventTrigger()`. This needs to return `None`.

  `stage_default_config_file`()

    auto generate default config file, and stage it into the profile.

  `start`()
  `subapp`

    A trait whose value must be an instance of a specified class.

    The value can also be an instance of a subclass of the specified class.

  `subcommand_description`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `subcommands`

    An instance of a Python dict.

  `to_work_dir`()
  `trait_metadata`(traitname, key)

    Get metadata values for trait by key.

  `trait_names`(**metadata)

    Get a list of all the names of this classes traits.

  `traits`(**metadata)

    Get a list of all the traits of this class.

    The TraitTypes returned don’t know anything about the values that the various HasTrait’s instances are holding.

    This follows the same algorithm as traits does and does not allow for any simple way of specifying merely that a metadata name exists, but has any value. This is because get_metadata returns None if a metadata key doesn’t exist.

  `update_config`(config)

    Fire the traits events when the config is updated.

  `version`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `work_dir`

    A trait for unicode strings.

  `write_pid_file`(overwrite=False)

    Create a .pid file in the pid_dir with my pid.

    This must be called after pre_construct, which sets self.pid_dir. This raises `PIDFileError` if the pid file exists already.

`IPython.parallel.apps.iploggerapp.``launch_new_instance`()

  Create and run the IPython LogWatcher
